PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a measuring device and a measuring method that can improve measuring accuracy of biological information.SOLUTION: A measuring device 10 that brings a region to be examined into contact with a contact section 14 and measures biological information comprises: a contact state detection section 11 that detects a contact state of the region to be examined at the contact section 14 a biosensor 13 that acquires the biological information from the region to be examined a reporting section 12 and a control section 15 that measures the biological information on the basis of an output of the biosensor 13. The control section 15 determines the contact state of the region to be examined at the contact section 14 on the basis of output from the contact state detection section 11, and makes information related to the contact state be reported from the reporting section 12.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】生体情報の測定精度を向上可能な測定装置及び測定方法を提供する。【解決手段】被検部位を接触部14に接触させて生体情報を測定する測定装置10は、接触部14における被検部位の接触状態を検出する接触状態検出部11と、被検部位から生体情報を取得する生体センサ13と、報知部12と、生体センサ13の出力に基づいて生体情報を測定する制御部15と、を備え、制御部15は、接触状態検出部11からの出力に基づいて、接触部14における被検部位の接触状態を判断し、接触状態に関する情報を報知部12から報知させる。【選択図】図1
