    Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media relating to a circulatory health monitor device are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, such a device may be positioned or disposed on and/or in contact with a subject to measure blood pressure and/or heart rate. The device may include one or more electrocardiographic (ECG) signal sensors, one or more photoplethysmographic (PPG) sensors, and a controller. The controller may activate at a low resolution a PPG measurement of the subject in relation to an ECG signal feature to identify a PPG signal feature location or region in the PPG measurement. The controller may further activate at a high resolution PPG measurement of the subject at the PPG signal feature region to identify the PPG signal feature, and may determine blood pressure and/or heart rate therefrom. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
