Abstract:
A first calculation unit calculates the heart rate of a subject from a plurality of instantaneous heart rates by averaging processing with an IIR filter using a first coefficient. Note that the first coefficient is a numerical value less than 1, and is a fixed value. A second calculation unit calculates the heart rate of the subject from the plurality of instantaneous heart rates by averaging processing with an IIR filter using a second coefficient. The second coefficient is a numerical value less than 1, and is a variable value. A switching unit switches between the first calculation unit and the second calculation unit based on a difference between the precedingly calculated heart rate and a latest instantaneous heart rate.
