Abstract
A wearable apparatus and a photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor unit are provided. The wearable apparatus includes a wearable holder and a physiological information measurement module configured to the wearable holder. The physiological information measurement module includes a circuit board, an electrocardiograph (ECG) sensor unit and a PPG sensor unit. The PPG sensor unit is disposed on the circuit board and adapted to be used in conjunction with the ECG sensor unit electrically connected to a first pad and a second pad on the circuit board. The PPG sensor unit includes a grid having a plurality of accommodating spaces, a lighting element arranged in one of the accommodating spaces, and a photo sensor arranged in another accommodating space. The grid includes an inner conductive contact portion exposed from the wearable holder, facing an inner side of the wearable holder and electrically connected to the second pad.
