  • Publication number: 20180020917
    Abstract: A physiological monitoring device, a physiological monitoring method and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for implementing the physiological monitoring method are provided. The physiological monitoring device has a blood pressure sensing module, a motion sensing module and a processor. The motion sensing module senses a physical state of the physiological monitoring device to generate a physical state signal accordingly. The processor, which is coupled to the blood pressure sensing module and the motion sensor module, determines whether the physiological monitoring device is in a stationary state and a horizontal state according to the physical state signal so as to determine whether an ideal measurement condition is met. When the ideal measurement condition is met, the processor controls the blood pressure sensing module to measure a blood pressure of the user.
