This sphygmomanometry cuff (20) comprises: an outer fabric (21) that extends in a longitudinal direction (X) in band shape and that is wrapped around a measurement site (90); a pressure-applying fluid bag (23) for applying pressure on the measurement site (90), the pressure-applying fluid bag being disposed on the outer fabric (21) on the side opposing the measurement site (90), and being disposed extending along the longitudinal direction (X); a sound-obtaining fluid bag (22) for obtaining sounds from the measurement site (90) through the pressure-applying fluid bag (23), the sound-obtaining fluid bag being disposed between the outer fabric (21) and the pressure-applying fluid bag (23), along the thickness direction (Z) perpendicular to the outer fabric (21); a first fluid piping (38) that is connected to the pressure-applying bag (23) to allow the fluid flow therebetween; and a second fluid piping (37) that is independent from the first fluid piping (38) and that is connected to the sound-obtaining fluid bag (22) to allow the fluid flow therebetween.
This sphygmomanometer is provided with: a blood pressure measurement cuff (20) that is worn around a measurement site; pressure devices (32, 33) that increase or decrease the pressure of the cuff (20); and a sound detection device (35) that detects sounds generated at the measurement site through the cuff (20). An amplification factor setting unit (110) measures a first passing time required for the pressure of the cuff (20) to pass through a first pressure range in the course of increasing the pressure of the cuff (20), and variably sets an amplification factor for a Korotkoff's sound component on the basis of the first passing time. Blood pressure calculation units (350, 110) receive an output from the sound detection device (35) corresponding to a sound from the cuff (20), amplify the Korotkoff's sound component included in the output by the set amplification factor, and calculate the blood pressure at the measurement site.
In the present invention, a cuff (20) for sphygmomanometry is worn by a subject by being wrapped, in the circumferential direction, around a rod-shaped measurement site (90) of the subject. On one side or both sides of the cuff (20) exclusively along an end portion (20e, 20f) thereof, in the width direction (Y), a light-projecting unit (34E, 34F) is disposed and projects light (Le, Lf) onto an peripheral area (92e, 92f) of a target region (92) of the measurement site. A light-receiving unit (35), which has a sheet shape, is provided on the inner surface (20b) of the cuff (20), along a specific area (20b1) that opposes the target region (92). The light-receiving unit (35) receives light (Le', Lf') that has been scattered or reflected by the target region (92) and obtains an image that includes a vein pattern (Px) of the target region (92). A recognition unit compares the vein pattern (Px) with a reference vein pattern (Pr) that has been registered in advance, and performs vein recognition for the subject.
The present invention provides a technology capable of providing a user with more useful information based on measurement results. A respiratory sound information processing system according to one aspect of the present invention includes a respiratory sound measurement device and a server. The respiratory sound measurement device notifies a user of wheezing detection results based on measurement data obtained by measuring the respiratory sounds of a measurement subject, and transmits the measurement data. The server carries out analysis based on the measurement data transmitted by the respiratory sound measurement device and transmits the analysis results to an information terminal of the user.
In the present invention, a display screen displays a graph in which the date and the blood pressure are set along the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, respectively, and vertical bars connecting SBP and DBP at each time are arranged in the horizontal direction to show changes in blood pressure value throughout a target display period (S2). When a position corresponding to a vertical bar at a specific time on the display screen is selected by a pointing device (S3), on the basis of the selected position, blood pressure value data measured at the specific time each day during the target display period is averaged to obtain the systolic blood pressure average and/or diastolic blood pressure average (S4). The display screen displays the obtained systolic blood pressure average and/or diastolic blood pressure average with the bar graph (S5).
In the present invention, a display screen displays an initial graph that has date and blood pressure along the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, respectively, and shows changes in blood pressure value throughout a designated display period (S2). Blood pressure value data measured at a first time each day is averaged throughout the designated display period to obtain the average blood pressure value for the first time, and blood pressure value data measured at a second time is averaged throughout the designated display period to obtain the average blood pressure value for the second time (S5). When a command switch is turned on during the display of the initial graph (Yes in S6), a blood pressure transition pattern for the designated display period is displayed on the display screen using points corresponding to the average blood pressure values for the first and second times, the pattern having time of day and blood pressure along the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, respectively (S7).
This sphygmomanometer is provided with: a pump (32) for supplying a fluid to a blood pressure measurement cuff (20); pressure sensors (31, 231) for detecting the pressure of the cuff (20); a first valve (33) for normal measurement; and a second valve (233) for emergency air release. A blood pressure measurement unit (110) controls the operation of the pump (32) and the first and second valves (33, 233) on the basis of the pressure of the cuff (20), and measures the blood pressure at a measurement site. An abnormality determination unit (110) supplies the fluid to the cuff (20) using the pump (32) in a state of having issued a command to close the first valve (33) and a command to open the second valve (233), and determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the emergency air release function on the basis of the degree of increase in the pressure of the cuff (20).
