Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly and easily detect an apnea/hypopnea condition during sleep while remarkably reducing the botheration and burden on a subject.SOLUTION: An electric current applying electrode section 20A supplies an electric current into a cervical region 51 of a living body 50. A measurement electrode section 20B measures an impedance generated in the cervical region 51 by the electric current. An analysis section 13 detects an apnea/hypopnea condition based on the measured impedance of the cervical region 51. An output section 14 outputs the result of detection.
