Abstract: An electronic device measures physiological information of a living subject. The electronic device includes a sensor assembly, a first driving unit with an electromagnetic structure and a second driving unit. The first driving unit drives the sensor assembly to scan the living subject's skin along a scan path in a non-contact way to determine a measuring position. The second driving unit drives the sensor assembly to move towards and contact the living subject's skin to measure the physiological information based on the measuring position. In a typical embodiment, the sensor is configured under a measurement surface where a wrist of a user is put on. The sensor scans the user's wrist along a scan path under the wrist in a non-contact way and move upwards to contact the user's wrist for measuring the physiological information based on the scanning result.
