PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organism status detector capable of detecting a status of an organism, including a posture or respiration of the organism.SOLUTION: An organism status detector 10 comprises: an FM-CW radar 11 which transmits, to a target including an organism, a transmission wave being a frequency modulated continuous wave, and detects distance spectral intensity data chronologically indicating the intensity at each predetermined distance to the target on the basis of a frequency difference between the transmission wave and a reflection wave from the target extraction means which extracts a body motion signal based on a respiration of the organism from the detection result from the FM-CW radar 11 and determination means which determines a posture or respiration of the organism on the basis of the body motion signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】生体の姿勢や呼吸を含む生体の状態を検出することができる生体状態検出装置を提供する。【解決手段】生体状態検出装置10は、周波数変調した連続波による送信波を生体を含む対象物に送信し、送信波と対象物からの反射波との周波数差に基づいて、対象物までの予め定められた距離ごとの強度を時系列的に示す距離スペクトル強度データを検出するFM-CWレーダ11と、FM-CWレーダ11の検出結果から、生体の呼吸に基づく体動信号を抽出する抽出手段と、体動信号に基づいて生体の姿勢又は呼吸を判定する判定手段とを備える。【選択図】図2
