- a first sensor configured to measure a first biosignal comprising pulse wave information of a user;
a second sensor configured to measure a second biosignal;
a calibration controller configured to determine a calibration time at which a calibration is to be performed on a blood pressure estimation model and a calibration method for the blood pressure estimation model, the determined calibration method being selected between a first calibration method for calibrating the blood pressure estimation model based a measured blood pressure value and a second calibration method for calibrating the blood pressure estimating model based on the second biosignal, the second calibration method taking less time than the first calibration method;
a calibrator configured to calibrate the blood pressure estimation model at the determined calibration time using the determined calibration method; and
a blood pressure estimator configured to estimate a blood pressure of the user from the first biosignal using the calibrated blood pressure estimation model.
