PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sphygmomanometer capable of accurately measuring the blood pressure by relaxing a measured person before the blood pressure of the person is measured.SOLUTION: The sphygmomanometer 1 includes: an arm band part 2 to be attached to an upper arm of the measured person a pressurizing means 110 for pressurizing the inside of the arm band part a control part 120 a pressure sensor 140 for detecting the pressure inside the arm band part 2 and depressurizing means 111 and 112 for depressurizing the pressure inside the arm band part 2. Receiving a pressure signal from the pressure sensor 140, the control part 120 controls the pressurizing means and the depressurizing means to measure the blood pressure in the sphygmomanometer 1. The sphygmomanometer 1 further includes a storage part 153 in which music data are stored and an announcing part 85 for playing music for the measured person when the music data are read from the storage part 153 before measuring the blood pressure of the measured person by pressurizing the inside of the arm band part 2 according to an instruction from the control part 120.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】被測定者が血圧測定を行う前に、被測定者をリラックスした状態にして正確に血圧測定を行うことができる血圧計を提供する。【解決手段】被測定者の上腕に装着される腕帯部2と、腕帯部内を加圧する加圧手段110と、制御部120と、腕帯部2内の圧力を検出する圧力センサ140と、腕帯部2内の圧力を減圧する減圧手段111,112とを備え、圧力センサ140からの圧力信号を受けて制御部120により加圧手段と減圧手段を制御して血圧を測定する血圧計1であって、音楽データが記憶されている記憶部153と、制御部120の指示により腕帯部2内を加圧して被測定者の血圧を測定する前に記憶部153から音楽データが読み出されると被測定者に音楽を聞かせる報知部85を備える。【選択図】図5
