Problems solved by technology

However, those with high blood pressure may only monitor their blood pressure occasionally during visits to the doctor's office or while waiting for a prescription at the pharmacy
Many physicians request additional monitoring of blood pressure, but patients may not follow through due to difficulty obtaining readings, cost of portable equipment, or discomfort associated with using a blood pressure monitor

Abstract

A wearable blood pressure meter includes a cuff, a tactile sensor, a cuff actuator, and a controller. The cuff is sized and shaped to wear around a body part having an artery. The tactile sensor is disposed on or adjacent to an inward facing surface of the cuff. The tactile sensor is positioned along the inward facing surface to align with the artery and to measure pressure applied to the tactilesensor by the artery when the cuff is worn around the body part. The cuff actuator is mechanically coupled to the cuff to cinch the cuff around the body part. The controller is coupled to the tactilesensor to record pressure signals from which a blood pressure measurement may be determined.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 697903, filed July 13, 2018, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to blood pressure measurement, and particularly, but not exclusively, to monitoring blood pressure at digital arteries. Background technique [0004] High blood pressure is a health problem for most of the population, but regular monitoring is uncommon. Blood pressure monitors are commonly found in physician's offices, hospitals, pharmacies, and sometimes at home. However, those with high blood pressure may only monitor their blood pressure occasionally during visits to the doctor's office or while waiting for a prescription at the pharmacy. Many physicians request additional monitoring of blood pressure, but patients may not follow through due to the difficulty of obtainin...
