PULSE WAVE AND PRESSURE DETECTION APPLICATION DEVICE AS WELL AS VASCULAR PULSE WAVE MEASURING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pulse wave and pressure detection application device that is simple in a device structure and is greatly reduced even in a device size, and manually performs measurement and is provided for a vascular pulse wave measuring system.SOLUTION: A pulse wave and pressure detection application device 20 includes the MEMS pressure sensor unit provided through skin on the blood vessel and detecting a pressure change of a pulse wave flowing in the blood vessel as a resistance value change, and a pressure application mechanism. The pressure application mechanism is a five joint link mechanism including five pieces of first to fifth uniaxial joints having uniaxial joints of both ends fixed, and four pieces of first to fourth links for connecting a pair of uniaxial joints adjacent to each other among five pieces of uniaxial joints. The MEMS pressure sensor unit is provided in the third uniaxial joint, and the second and the fourth uniaxial joints or the first and the fourth links are depressed or pushed up by a user to move a position of the third uniaxial joint. Thereby, the five joint link mechanisms apply a predetermined pressure to the blood vessel from the third uniaxial joint via the MEMS pressure sensor unit and skin.
