Abstract

A biological information detection device includes: a video capture unit, a blood flow analysis unit, a local pulse wave detection unit, a pulse wave propagation velocity calculation unit, and a blood pressure estimation unit. The video capture unit obtains video information on a face of a living body. The blood flow analysis unit analyzes video data of at least three skin areas in the video information, as blood flow information. The local pulse wave detection unit is provided for each skin area to calculate pulse information based on the blood flow information sequenced chronologically. The pulse wave propagation velocity calculation unit calculates a pulse wave propagation velocity based on a phase difference between pieces of the pulse information at each skin area calculated by the local pulse wave detection unit. The blood pressure estimation unit estimates blood pressure based on the pulse wave propagation velocity.
