  • Patent number: 11857360
    Abstract: Provided is a biological sound measurement device capable of smoothly performing tasks from measurement initiation to result confirmation, that includes a sound measurement unit including a contact surface configured to be brought into contact with the body surface of a subject, a gripping portion supporting the sound measurement unit and configured to be gripped by a measurer, and a display unit provided to the gripping portion and configured to display an analysis result of a biological sound measured by the sound measurement unit. The gripping portion is configured to be gripped by the measurer in a state in which an index finger of the measurer is placed on a back surface of the sound measurement unit, and the display unit is provided on a surface of the gripping portion on the body surface side in a state in which the contact surface is in contact with the body surface.

  • Patent number: 11432728
    Abstract: This blood pressure/pulse wave measurement device obtains a pulse wave velocity (baPWV) that is an index representing the arterial stiffness of a subject. A lower limb/upper limb blood pressure ratio (ABI) that is an index representing the clogging of the blood vessels of a subject is obtained. When the lower limb/upper limb blood pressure ratio (ABI) of the subject surpasses a preset first threshold value, a point (Px) representing the pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is displayed on a one-dimensional graph (46). When the lower limb/upper limb blood pressure ratio (ABI) of the subject is equal to or less than the preset first threshold value, a point representing the lower limb/upper limb blood pressure ratio (ABI) is displayed on the one-dimensional graph (46) instead of the point representing the pulse wave velocity (baPWV).

  • Publication number: 20210330278
    Abstract: Provided is a biological sound measurement device to improve a measurement accuracy, that includes a sound measurement unit having a contact surface configured to be brought into contact with a body surface, and a gripping portion supporting the sound measurement unit and configured to be gripped by a measurer. The gripping portion is configured to be gripped in a state in which an index finger is placed in a recessed portion, the sound measurement unit includes a sound detector, a housing forming an accommodation space accommodating the sound detector and includes an opening, and a cover closing the opening from outside the accommodation space and forming a pressure-receiving region configured to receive pressure from the body surface. The contact surface is formed by a front surface of the cover, and the opening positioned on a straight line extending in a direction of a force applied from the index finger.
