Abstract: With an ultrasonograph, medical information of a heart could not be accurately obtained as the cardiac apex of the heart could not be recorded clearly. A biomedical information measuring device capable of obtaining accurate medical information is created by measuring an apexcardiogram in M-mode using a linear probe, and improving a data processing device so as to establish an algorithm useful in accurate evaluation so as to solve the above problem.

Abstract: Though mechanocardiogram is considered to have a high medical value, mechanocardiogram recording device is large in size and very expensive, obtained data lacks reliability, a measurement algorithm has not been settled, use of an apexcardiogram for diagnosis is not useful for diagnosis of the circulatory system, and there has been no measuring equipment capable of measuring pexcardiogram which contribute to determination of heal condition of a living body to be measured. For measurement of heartbeat of a living body, measuring device which allows simple measurement of apexcardiogram at bedside has been developed using a pressure sensor and/or wave sensor capable of measuring change in pressure at multiple portions adjacent to one another, and simple electronic circuit.
