Abstract

Provided is a heartbeat measurement device including a main body portion, a heartbeat detection portion, formed integrally the main body portion, which has electrodes that come into contact with a biological surface, a fixing band, formed so as to cover the main body portion and the heartbeat detection portion, which fixes the main body portion and the heartbeat detection portion to a user.

Claims

1. A biological information detection device comprising:

a device main body;

a biological signal detection portion, formed integrally with the device main body, which has an electrode that comes into contact with a biological surface; and

a fixing portion, formed so as to cover the device main body and the biological signal detection portion, which fixes the device main body and the biological signal detection portion to a human body.

2. The biological information detection device according to claim 1, wherein the device main body is detachably provided to the fixing portion.

3. The biological information detection device according to claim 2, wherein the fixing portion is configured such that at least an elastic strap and a non-elastic belt are connected to each other, and that the device main body is detachably provided to the belt.

4. The biological information detection device according to claim 2, wherein the fixing portion is configured such that at least an elastic strap and a hard connection member are connected to each other, and that the device main body is detachably provided to the connection member.

5. The biological information detection device according to claim 1, wherein the biological signal detection portion is formed from conductive elastomer, and the conductive elastomer serves as the electrode.
