Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for measuring biomedical data. The method of measuring biomedical data using a biochemical reaction includes determining reaction termination time at which the biochemical reaction has been stabilized based on an average variation in a predetermined period in an early stage of measurement, and obtaining a final measured value by adding a correction value to a value measured at the determined reaction termination time.
Claims4
A method of measuring biomedical data using an apparatus for measuring biomedical data, comprising:
- inserting a measurement strip into the apparatus for measuring the biomedical data;
- applying blood to a reactive portion of the measurement strip on which enzyme material for measuring cholesterol is provided;
- detecting color change of the reactive portion of measurement strip in a predetermined period of measurement as a result of the biochemical reaction between the blood and the enzyme material on the reactive portion;
- determining reflectance of the reactive portion of the measurement strip in the predetermined period of measurement based on the color change;
- detecting a point of time at which a current average variation is a value which is equal to or less than a value obtained by multiplying the average variation of the dertermined reflectance in the predetermined period of measurement by a determination constant;
- determining reaction termination time according to the point of time;
- generating a correction value by calculating a difference between a measured value at a start of the predetermined period of measurement and a measured value at an end of the predetermined period of measurement;
- obtaining a final measured value by adding the correction value to a value of the reflectance measured at the determined reaction termination time;
- and
- converting the final measured value into the biomedical data.
