  • Publication number: 20220395186
    Abstract: A biological information displaying apparatus according to an embodiment includes a picture obtaining apparatus and a processor. The picture obtaining apparatus obtains a picture signal of a predetermined site of a subject as a moving image. The processor generates a hue moving image by extracting a luminance or an image-based photoplethysmogram (iPPG) related to a pulse wave for each pixel of the moving image and assigning a hue in accordance with a value of luminance information or iPPG information. The processor displays the generated hue moving image such that the hue moving image is superimposed on an image of the subject.

  • Patent number: 11445921
    Abstract: A biological information measuring apparatus according to an embodiment includes a calculating unit and a measuring unit. The calculating unit is configured to calculate information related to a pulse wave of a subject, on the basis of luminance information of a picture signal of the subject. The measuring unit is configured to measure a fluctuation of blood pressure of the subject based on an increase or a decrease in the information related to the pulse wave, in accordance with a site of the subject from which the picture signal was obtained.
