A method of measuring noninvasive blood pressure includes determining a window for pulse detection for a patient, receiving a pressure signal measured from a measure sensor in a blood pressure cuff, and setting a pulse detection period for each heart beat based on the window and a heart beat indicator indicating at least one heart beat time for the patient. The pressure signal is then examined within each pulse detection period to identify a pressure peak therein. A blood pressure for the patient is determined based on the pressure peaks detected in the pressure signal.

A control unit (12) and method for deriving a measure of arterial compliance based on an acquired arterial volume variation signal and measured diastolic and systolic blood pressure measurements. An oscillometric blood pressure measurement device is used to obtain a first signal representative of arterial volume variations and to obtain blood pressure measurements. Both are measured as an applied pressure to an artery is varied by the oscillometric blood pressure measurement device. The first signal is processed to compile a dataset of values, ΔV, representative of the change in the arterial volume for set step changes, ΔP, in applied pressure, at different transmural pressure values. This set of values is numerically integrated to derive a function of arterial volume with transmural pressure. This function is differentiated to thereby derive a function of arterial compliance with transmural pressure.

A non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement system that includes a blood pressure cuff and a non-invasive blood pressure monitor. The blood pressure cuff including an inner portion that is selectively inflatable and an outer portion that is rigid or semi-rigid. The outer portion reducing external stimuli on the inner portion. The inner portion connected to a sensor coupled to the NIBP monitor, the sensor sensing a pressure of the inner portion. The NIBP monitor receiving the sensor data and processing the sensor data to determine a blood pressure of a patient about which the blood pressure cuff has been placed.

A blood pressure measurement method includes wrapping a cuff around a site. The cuff includes: a first bladder that swells due to receiving fluid and is arranged at an outer surface of the site that corresponds to a first half surface where an artery is; and a second bladder that swells due to receiving fluid and is arranged at the outer circumferential surface of the measurement site that corresponds to a second half surface opposite to the first half surface. During inflation, the pressure of the second bladder is made larger than the first bladder by supplying more fluid such that the stroke amount by which the second fluid bladder swells is larger in the thickness direction. Then, the two bladders are inflated at equal rates. In the process of inflating, or in the process of deflating at rates equal to each other after inflating, blood pressure is measured.

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.

Indirect, oscillometric, digital blood pressure monitoring systems and methods enabling self-calibration to obtain absolute blood pressure values using algorithmic analysis of arterial pressure pulses to establish an oscillometric profile and compensate for intervening effects on digital arterial pressure. Proper algorithmic analysis is dependent upon proper positioning and maintained engagement of a digital cuff on the digit of a user and subsequent hydraulic coupling of the cuff to the arteries within the digit.
