The processor is configured to determine bio-information and blood pressure information of a user measured through the sensor, determine reliability of calibration of the blood pressure information, based on at least one of elapsed time of the calibration, the bio-information, and the blood pressure information, determine, based on the reliability of the calibration, whether an event associated with the calibration occurs, and display a user interface (UI) to request another calibration, through the display, when the event is determined to have occurred.

Disclosed herein are in vivo non-invasive methods and devices for the measurement of the hemodynamic parameters and aortic valve conformance and compliance in a subject. The method requires measuring the peripheral pulse volume waveform (PVW), the peripheral pulse pressure waveform (PPW), and the peripheral pulse velocity waveform (PUW) from the same artery using a non-invasive device. The waveforms PPW and PUW are used to calculate the waveform dPdU which is used to determine aortic valve ejection volume, closure volume, and quality factor, as well as stroke volume and cardiac output. The disclosed methods and devices are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of aortic valve disease, disorders, and dysfunction.

An electronic device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a touch screen. The electronic device includes a communication interface that may receive, from a touch pen, a pulse wave signal of a user which is measured from a finger of the user by the touch pen while the touch pen is placed on the touch screen. The electronic device includes a processor that may determine whether a measurement posture of the user is appropriate based on whether the finger touches the touch screen, and in response to determining that the user's measurement posture is appropriate, estimate bio-information of the user based on the received pulse wave signal.

A display device includes a display panel comprising a through hole and a pixel area, the pixel area surrounding the through hole and including pixels for displaying an image; a force sensor at a first surface of the display panel and configured to sense force applied from an outside; and a light sensor overlapping the through hole of the display panel in a thickness direction of the display panel, the light sensor being configured to sense light incident on the light sensor through the through hole.

A probe with a blood circulation sensor and a force or pressure sensor is placed against a patient. One part of the probe applies a force to another part of the probe which is pressed against the patient at one or more locations. The variation of a measure of blood circulation is recorded as a function of the applied pressure, thereby giving the operator a specific knowledge of the Tissue Perfusion Pressure (TPP), a measure of circulatory health, at each location.
