Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for correcting biometric signals in a continuous biometric information measurement system and, more specifically, to a method which, if a correction parameter is unstable when a correction factor is being calculated using a reference biometric value, does not use the current correction factor calculated from a reference biometric value as-is, but revises the current correction factor by applying, to the current correction factor, a compensation value calculated from the difference between the current correction factor and a previous correction factor, and thus even if a correction parameter is unstable it is possible to calculate a corrected biometric value by accurately correcting a biometric signal.
