1. A wearable sensor device comprising
a housing including an outer wall surface, the outer wall surface including a back surface which faces a living body, a front surface opposite to the back surface, and side surfaces, the side surfaces including a first side surface and a second side surface being shaped such that distance between the first side surface and the second side surface decreases from top to bottom when viewed from a side of the back surface;
an environmental sensor configured to measure ambient environmental information around the living body; and
a first coupling member configured to attach the wearable sensor device to the living body,
wherein the environmental sensor is provided on the first side surface of the outer wall surface of the housing, or provided to be separated from and facing the first side surface of the outer wall surface,
wherein an angle formed by the first side surface and a vertical direction is in a range of 30° to 60° when a lower end of the first side surface and a lower end of the second side surface are arranged horizontally from each other, and
wherein the first coupling member is provided only on the back surface of the outer wall surface of the housing.
