Wearable device design with continuous cuff-less blood pressure measurement. This project aims to develop a non-invasive, body-worn device able to monitor blood pressure (BP) continuously in real time. The project proposes new sensing techniques for blood pressure measurement based on capturing pulse transit time in the central arteries using a combination of electrical bio-impedance, electrocardiogram (ECG), and continuous wave radar. Coupled with other vital parameters including heart rate, he ....Wearable device design with continuous cuff-less blood pressure measurement. This project aims to develop a non-invasive, body-worn device able to monitor blood pressure (BP) continuously in real time. The project proposes new sensing techniques for blood pressure measurement based on capturing pulse transit time in the central arteries using a combination of electrical bio-impedance, electrocardiogram (ECG), and continuous wave radar. Coupled with other vital parameters including heart rate, heart rhythm, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, it is expected that the device will enable remote monitoring with wireless connectivity and with many advantages over the traditional wired monitoring methods currently used in healthcare environments and it will assist with more effective prevention, home care and treatment.Read moreRead less
