  • Publication number: 20240172969
    Abstract: A biological information measuring device includes a light source that irradiates light, a sensor having a plurality of pixels arranged in an array in a two-dimensional plane and a saturation charge number of 1,000,000 or more. The sensor receives irradiated light transmitted, reflected, or scattered from the light source in a living body and outputs information according to the light intensity of the received light. A specific location selection unit selects a measurement target location of the measurement target for the biological information and a reference location different from the measurement target location, based on the information obtained by the image sensor. A biological information acquisition unit acquires biological information from the information obtained by the sensor at the measurement target location, using the information obtained by the sensor at the reference location as a reference.

  • Publication number: 20230393117
    Abstract: A biological information measurement device includes: a scattering rate calculating unit configured to calculate a scattering rate of light at an interface between a medium present in a biological object or in a specimen and a particle included in the medium based on received-light intensity of light irradiated onto the biological object or onto the specimen and received via the biological object or via the specimen; and a concentration index calculating unit configured to calculate, based on a correlation between the scattering rate of the light at the interface and a concentration index corresponding to concentration of a target substance that is different from the particle included in the medium, the concentration index corresponding to the scattering rate of the light calculated by the scattering rate calculating unit.
