Abstract:
An apparatus includes one or more memories storing computer readable code and processor(s). The processor(s), in response to loading and executing the computer readable code, cause the apparatus to perform operations including receiving electrocardiogram data from an electrocardiogram sensor. The electrocardiogram data includes data from an electrocardiogram from a person. The operations also include receiving pulse wave data from one or more pulse wave pressure sensors. The pulse wave data includes data from one or more pulse waves from the person. The operations further include determining blood pressure using the electrocardiogram data or the pulse wave data from the chest and the pulse wave data from the wrist or finger, and outputting an indication of the blood pressure. Another apparatus uses pulse wave data from two pulse wave sensors (e.g., pulse wave pressure sensor(s) and/or PPG sensor(s)) and blood pressure determinations are made using these pulse wave data.
