Abstract
A blood pressure measuring apparatus having a housing detachably set on a body surface of a subject, a pressure sensor accommodated in the housing such that the pressure sensor is opposed to the body surface when the housing is set on the body surface, the pressure sensor being pressed against the body surface so as to detect pulse wave produced from an arterial vessel of the subject, the pressure sensor generating pulse wave signal representing the detected pulse wave, a pressing device for pressing the pressure sensor against the body surface, and a control device for determining blood pressure in the arterial vessel based on the pulse wave signal supplied from the pressure sensor, the pressing means and the control means being accommodated in the housing.
