Provided is a measurement device for living tissue, the measurement device being reduced in size so as to fit onto the hand of a user, and enabling casual use by the user. This measurement device comprises an optical sensor, a temperature sensor, and a data processing unit. The optical sensor measures optical data regarding an object to be measured, which is a portion of living tissue, by: irradiating the object to be measured with light from a light-emitting part via a measurement surface that comes into contact with the object to be measured; and receiving, in a light-receiving part, reflected light reflected by the object to be measured. The temperature sensor measures the temperature of the optical sensor. The data processing unit processes the optical data on the basis of the temperature of the optical sensor, and derives measurement results relating to the object to be measured on the basis of the processed optical data. |
