HEALTH MONITORING DEVICE, COMPUTER PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND BIOSIGNAL MEASURING DEVICE
Provided is a health monitoring device that extracts, in particular, an apical beat component from a trunk acoustic pulse wave and thus is also usable in the medical field. The health monitoring device (1000) of the present invention analyzes a trunk acoustic pulse wave to estimate the health condition of a person using a correlation of an indicator relating to a left ventricular pressure waveform which indicates the behavior of the heart, with a vibration frequency of a frequency component stemming from an apical beat, a diastolic time interval in a cardiac cycle, or blood pressure. The former is input information and the latter is output information of the heart through which blood circulates, and thus comparing these two pieces of information makes it possible to know a health condition relating to the function of the heart more accurately than conventionally.
Systems and methods for determining cardiac output
The systems and methods described herein determine metrics of cardiac or vascular performance, such as cardiac output, and can use the metrics to determine appropriate levels of mechanical circulatory support to be provided to the patient. The systems and methods described determine cardiac performance by determining aortic pressure measurements (or other physiologic measurements) within a single heartbeat or across multiple heartbeats and using such measurements in conjunction with flow estimations or flow measurements made during the single heartbeat or multiple heartbeats to determine the cardiac performance, including determining the cardiac output. By utilizing a mechanical circulatory support system placed within the vasculature, the need to place a separate measurement device within a patient is reduced or eliminated. The system and methods described herein may characterize cardiac performance without altering the operation of the heart pump (e.g., without increasing or decreasing pump speed).
AIRBAG OF ELECTRONIC BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR AND ELECTRONIC BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
An airbag of an electronic blood pressure monitor is provided. The airbag includes an outer wall and at least one connection wall; the outer wall includes a first wall, a peripheral side wall, and a second wall; the first wall and the second wall are disposed opposite to each other; the peripheral side wall is connected to a periphery of the first wall and a periphery of the second wall; the first wall, the side wall, and the second wall form an air chamber; the at least one connection wall is located in the air chamber; each connection wall is connected to at least two of the peripheral side wall, the first wall, and the second wall; and each connection wall is tensed when the airbag is in an expanded state. This application further provides an electronic blood pressure monitor including the airbag.

Blood pressure measuring apparatus
A blood pressure measuring apparatus for measuring a blood pressure of a subject using a cuff attached to the subject is equipped with an inflating mechanism—configured to increase an inner pressure of the cuff, a processor and a memory—configured to store instructions that is readable by the processor. As the instructions are executed by the processor, the blood pressure measuring apparatus-acquires a pulse rate of the subject while causing the inflating mechanism to increase the inner pressure of the cuff at a prescribed inflation speed, and compares the pulse rate as acquired to a prescribed pulse rate. The blood pressure measuring apparatus causes the inflating mechanism to increase the inner pressure of the cuff at an inflation speed that is lower than the prescribed inflation speed if the pulse rate as acquired is less than the prescribed pulse rate.
