Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A blood pressure measurement apparatus includes a sensor, an input section, and a circuit. The sensor is configured to measure blood flow speed in a target blood vessel. The input section is configured to input blood pressure from a measurement apparatus continuously measuring the blood pressure. The circuit is configured to estimate the blood pressure on the basis of the blood flow speed by referencing a correlation formula that indicates correlation characteristics of the blood pressure from the measurement apparatus and the blood flow speed from the sensor.
