A measurement apparatus includes a housing, a display disposed on the front face of the housing, a contact interface, to be contacted by a test site, disposed on a different surface than the front face of the housing, a laser light source that emits laser light from the contact interface, a light receiver that receives scattered laser light from the test site, a biological information generator that generates biological information based on output from the light receiver, and a controller that controls emission of laser light in the laser light source.
