Abstract
A blood pressure measure system for iteratively measuring a blood pressure of a living subject at predetermined intervals of time, the monitor system including a pressing device pressing a body portion of the subject; a regulating device regulating the pressing force of the pressing device; a blood pressure measuring device iteratively measuring at least a systolic blood pressure of the subject at the intervals of time, each of the iterative blood pressure measurements being effected when the pressing force of the pressing device is decreased at a predetermined rate by the regulating device; a pulse rate measuring device measuring, as a pulse rate, a pulse number per unit time of the subject; a first determining device determining, by utilizing the pulse rate, a pressing force increase amount such that as the pulse rate is increased the increase amount is decreased; and a second determining device determining a target pressing force to be greater by the increase amount than a systolic blood pressure measured in a preceding blood pressure measuring cycle, the blood pressure measuring device effecting a current blood pressure measurement when the pressing force of the pressing device is decreased at the predetermined rate after being increased to the target pressing force.
