Original Abstract Submitted

A blood-pressure gauge includes a blood pressure measurement unit that automatically performs blood pressure measurement according to a predetermined schedule in one of a plurality of blood pressure measurement modes. The plurality of blood pressure measurement modes include a normal measurement mode and a plurality of measurement modes having higher reliability than the normal measurement mode. The blood-pressure gauge further includes a determination unit that determines whether any of a plurality of events has occurred in a user during blood pressure measurement, and a mode setting unit that sets an active measurement mode from among the plurality of blood pressure measurement modes based on a determination result. The mode setting unit sets the normal measurement mode as the active measurement mode when no event has occurred, and sets one of the plurality of measurement modes as the active measurement mode when one of the events has occurred.
