PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pulse wave sensor capable of precisely measuring a subjects pulse wave.SOLUTION: The pulse wave sensor 1 includes an optical sensor part 11 that acquires pulse wave data by applying light to a living body 2 from a light emitting part and making a light receiving part detect intensity of the light transmitted through the living body 2, and a body part 10 which supports the optical sensor part 11. The body part 10 is a member subject to a pushing force directed to the side of the living body 2 in attachment to the living body 2. The optical sensor part 11 is provided in the vicinity (within a hatching area) of a force application point where the pushing force directed to the side of the living body 2 is maximized on the surface of the body part 10.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】被験者の脈波を精度良く測定することのできる脈波センサを提供する。【解決手段】発光部から生体2に光を照射して生体2内を透過した光の強度を受光部で検出することにより脈波データを取得する光センサ部11と、光センサ部11を担持する本体部10と、を有する脈波センサ1において、本体部10は、生体2への装着時に生体2側への押圧力が与えられる部材であり、光センサ部11は、本体部10の表面上において生体2側への押圧力が最大となる着力点の近傍(ハッチング領域内)に設けられている。【選択図】図9
