摘要

The test subject attaches pulse wave detectors 1 to his fingertips, and presses down on pressure sensor 110. As a result, CPU 4 determines the DC component of the received light signal LS, and stores this in calibration table 50 in association with the pressure level. Subsequently, CPU 4 calculates threshold values, which can be used for grading the touch sensation, based on maximum value Pmax of the pressure level and calibration table 50, and stores this result in threshold table 51. When the subject grips an object with his fingers, the blood flow volume is detected by pulse wave detector 1 as received light signal LS. CPU 4 calculates the DC component of received light signal LS, compares this result to the threshold values stored in threshold value table 51, generates touch information SJ, and displays this on LCD 108. Accordingly, in this case, pulse diagnosis can be easily performed by expressing the degree of pressure in the pulse diagnosis as touch information SJ.
