Abstract:
1. An optical organism measurement system comprising: a light source that irradiates light to a living body; a detector that detects light having been irradiated from the light source and having propagated through the living body; an arithmetic unit that calculates measured data, which represents a change in the concentration of oxidized hemoglobin in the living body and a change in the concentration of deoxidized hemoglobin therein, on the basis of light detected by the detector; and a memory unit in which the data measured from the subject during a first period and the data measured therefrom during a second period different from the first period are stored, wherein: the arithmetic unit classifies the measured data according to each of an increase or a decrease in the concentration of oxidized hemoglobin and an increase or a decrease in the concentration of deoxidized hemoglobin; and the optical organism measurement system further comprises a display unit that displays the classification of the data measured during the first period and the classification of the data measured during the second period.
