BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING METHOD

摘要

A device, system and method for monitoring blood pressure information of a user. A device is configured with at least one pressure sensor, a fastening element, and a processing component. In the method the pressure sensor is detachably attached to a position on the outer surface of a tissue of the user. The pressure sensor generates signal that vary according to deformations of the tissue in response to an arterial pressure wave expanding or contracting a blood vessel underlying the tissue. The signal is used to compute pulse wave parameters representing detected characteristics of the progressing arterial pressure wave of the user and blood pressure value of the user.

1. A device for evaluating blood pressure, comprising:
at least one pressure sensor; a fastening element for detachably attaching the pressure sensor to a position on the outer surface of a tissue of a user; wherein the pressure sensor is configured to generate a signal that varies according to deformations of the tissue in response to an arterial pressure wave expanding or contracting a blood vessel underlying the tissue in the position; a processing component configured to input the signal and compute from the signal pulse wave parameters representing detected characteristics of the progressing arterial pressure wave of the user; and the processing component configured to compute from the pulse wave parameters a blood pressure value of the user.
