Probe for use in measuring a biological signal and biological signal measuring system incorporating the probe
First Claim
1. A probe for use in photoplethysmographic (PPG) measurement, comprising:
- a light source unit including a light source that contacts a predetermined site of an object and emits light onto the predetermined site;
a photodetector unit positioned facing the light source unit to receive the light emitted from the light source unit and transmitted through the object;
a body having a space for receiving the object and in which the light source unit and the photodetector unit are positioned in a same optical axis; and
a pressure application unit coupled to the body for applying a pressure to the object via the light source unit.
