Abstract

An earphone-type physiological function detecting system is provided in the present invention. In which, a detecting sensor module is disposed on a detecting unit, so that the detecting sensor module of the detecting unit is able to detect various the physiological function, such as the body temperature, the blood pressure, the heartbeat, the blood sugar of the user when the user wears the detecting unit in the ear. Further, the detecting unit transmits the detected physiological function signals to the devices, such as the mobile phone, the MP3 walkman, the CD walkman, and the radio for displaying. When the detected signals exceed the standard values, the physiological function detecting system rings as an alarm, stores the detected signals in a memory module, transmits the detected signals to the far end for displaying, and records the daily detected values.
