Disclosed are an apparatus and method for estimating biological information, and an optical sensor. The apparatus for estimating biological information may include: an optical sensor including a light emitter and a plurality of light receiving groups disposed on a substrate, the plurality of light receiving groups respectively disposed on a plurality of concentric circles at different distances from the light emitter on the substrate; and a processor configured to drive one light receiving group selected based on a type of biological information to be estimated among the plurality of light receiving groups, and estimate biological information of a subject based on an optical signal detected by the driven light receiving group. 公开了用于估计生物信息的设备和方法以及光学传感器。所述用于估计生物信息的设备可包括：光学传感器，包括设置在基板上的光发射器和多个光接收组，所述多个光接收组分别布置在基板上的距光发射器不同距离处的多个同心圆上；以及处理器，被配置为：驱动所述多个光接收组中的基于将要估计的生物信息的类型而选择的一个光接收组，并且基于通过驱动的光接收组检测到的光信号来估计对象的生物信息。
