  • Patent number: 12257020
    Abstract: An input interface is configured to receive a signal corresponding to vital information that exhibits temporal variation. When at least one instruction stored in a memory is executed by a processor, waveform information (W) is generated based on the signal; a value of a profile factor of the waveform information (W) is obtained every time a predetermined time period is elapsed; and the value is displayed on the display section (15). The profile factor includes at least one of a rising angle, a top portion angle, a falling angle, a rising velocity, an absolute value of the rising velocity, a top portion velocity, an absolute value of the top portion velocity, a falling velocity, an absolute angle of the falling velocity, an under-waveform area, a rising-falling time interval, a falling-rising time interval, a rising-rising time interval and a falling-falling time interval.

  • Publication number: 20230165535
    Abstract: A physiological signal processing apparatus for converting a physiological signal into sampling data having a predetermined frequency that is set according to the physiological signal includes an A/D converter and a computation unit. The A/D converter is configured to convert the physiological signal into high-speed sampling data by sampling the physiological signal at a frequency that is higher than the predetermined frequency. The computation unit is configured to convert the high-speed sampling data into sampling data having the predetermined frequency by setting time windows for the high-speed sampling data and calculating one representative value for each of the windows on the basis of high-speed sampling data in the window.
