PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sphygmomanometer capable of more accurately determining whether or not the measurement part is covered with a garment which may affect the blood-pressure.SOLUTION: A sphygmomanometer 10 includes: a pressure pump 23 which presses a cuff 50 a pressure sensor 25 which detects a pressure in the cuff 50 pressurized by the pressure pump 23 a tactile array sensor 31 which detects a contact pressure distribution between a measurement part of a person to be measured and the cuff 50 while the cuff 50 is pressurized by the pressure pump 23 and a measurement adequacy determination part 48 which determines whether or not the blood-pressure measurement of the person to be measured is appropriately done according to the contact pressure distribution detected by the tactile array sensor 31.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】血圧測定に影響を及ぼす衣服で測定部位が覆われていないかどうかをより正確に判定することができる血圧計を提供する。【解決手段】血圧計10は、カフ50を加圧する加圧ポンプ23と、加圧ポンプ23により加圧されるカフ50内の圧力を検出する圧力センサ25と、加圧ポンプ23によりカフ50が加圧されるときに、被測定者の測定部位とカフ50の間の接触圧分布を検出する触覚アレイセンサ31と、触覚アレイセンサ31により検出された接触圧分布に応じて、被測定者の血圧測定が適切に行われるか否かを判定する測定可否判定部48と、を有する。【選択図】図5
