Abstract

A blood pressure measurement device and an electronic device are provided. The blood pressure measurement device includes a body (1), a processor (7), an airbag (2), an air supply and exhaust apparatus (4), a driving apparatus (6), a barometric pressure sensor (5), and a flowmeter (9). The body (1) includes a cavity (101), the airbag (2) has an air cavity, and the airbag (2) is fastened to an end of the body (1). The air supply and exhaust apparatus (4) is connected to the air cavity of the airbag (2) through a first air path (81). The barometric pressure sensor (5) is connected to the air cavity of the airbag (2) through a second air path (82). The flowmeter (9) is configured to detect an air flow value between the air supply and exhaust apparatus (4) and the airbag (2), or is configured to detect an air flow value between the barometric pressure sensor (5) and the airbag (2). The processor (7) may compensate, based on the air flow value detected by the flowmeter (9) and a correspondence between an air flow value and an air pressure compensation value, an air pressure value detected by the barometric pressure sensor (5), so that impact of the blood pressure measurement device on a measurement value of the barometric pressure sensor (5) in an inflating/deflating process can be effectively reduced, and a blood pressure measurement result is accurate.
