Today, you can purchase a home blood pressure kit, also known as a sphygmomanometer, at your local pharmacy or discount store. A home blood pressure kit includes an arm cuff, a system that registers pressure, and in some types of monitors, a stethoscope. There are various types of blood pressure monitoring devices, and they all have pros and cons.
The present invention describes a system and method for continuous monitoring of central (aortic) and peripheralBlood Pressure. The system includes a fully mobile, non-invasive, continuous blood pressuremonitoring system that includes one or more Biostrip devices affixed on a user, coupled with an application running on a computing device, which is further connected to a web server in the cloud. The system performs various computations on the Biostrip device, or on the gateway device (Smartphone or Smartwatch), or on the Cloud, and provides the user and authorized third parties with various insights about the blood pressure levels of the user. Further, the system enables the user to receive biofeedback training for controlling hypertension, and schedule online appointments, pay online for such appointments, share data the data securely to obtain insights.
A blood pressure measuring device includes a flexible element configured to at least partially surround a body part and having a stiffening element configured to stiffen the flexible element; and at least one pressure sensor element attached to the flexible element.
The invention provides a system for measuring stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and cardiac power (CP) from a patient that features: 1) impedance sensor connected to at least two body-worn electrodes and including an impedance circuit that processes analog signals from the electrodes to measure an impedance signal (e.g. a TBEV waveform); 2) an ECG sensor connected to at least two chest-worn electrodes and including an ECG circuit that processes analog signals from the electrodes to measure and ECG signal; 3) an optical sensor connected to a body-worn optical probe and including an optical circuit that processes signals from the probe to measure at least one optical signal (e.g. a PPG waveform) from the patient; 4) a processingsystem, typically worn on the patient's wrist and connected through a wired interface to the optical sensor, and through either a wired or wireless interface to the TBEV and ECG sensors.
A monitoring apparatus for monitoring a blood pressure information of a subject is disclosed. The monitoring apparatus comprises an ultrasoundtransducer for emitting ultrasoundwaves to a volume of the subject that includes a blood vessel and for receiving ultrasoundwaves from said volume of the subject, and for providing a first signal on the basis of ultrasound waves received from the volume of the subject. A light source is included for emitting light to the subject and a light sensor is included for detecting light received from the subject and for providing a second signal on the basis of the light received from a skin of the subject. The monitoring apparatus comprises a processing unit for determining: i) a time of arrival of a cardiac pulse in the blood vessel based on the first signal, ii) a point in time when the cardiac pulse reaches the skin of the subject based on the second signal, iii) a pulse transit time between the time of arrival of the cardiac pulse PPG in the blood vessel and the point in time when the cardiac pulse reaches the skin of the subject; and iv) the blood pressure based on the pulse transit time.
