Intelligent Inflatable Cuff for Arm-Based Blood Pressure Measurement

Abstract

This disclosure provides devices and methods for estimating blood pressure using intelligent oscillometric blood pressure measurement techniques, where some implementations of the devices include multiple biometric sensors and/or can obtain sensor data from a connected device. In some implementations, the devices automatically determine an identity of a user. In some implementations, the devices automatically provide instructions to users to take blood pressure measurements. In some implementations, the devices applied intelligent inflation techniques to improve user comfort and speed up measurements.

         70 . A method of obtaining blood pressure data, implemented using an oscillometric blood pressure measurement (OBPM) device comprising an inflatable cuff, a pressure sensor, communication circuitry, a memory, and one or more processors, the method comprising:
 pairing the OBPM device and a second device through the communication circuitry;   obtaining, by the one or more processors, at least one of: (a) data indicating that the OBPM device and the second device are paired, and (b) data indicating the second device is associated with a user;   obtaining, by the one or more processors through the pressure sensor, oscillometric blood pressure data for the user;   providing the oscillometric blood pressure data as an input to a classifier configured to determine an identity of the user; and   sending, by the one or more processors through the communication circuitry, data indicating the identity of the user and the oscillometric blood pressure data to the second device.
