Optimizing Sensor Pressure in Blood Pressure Measurements Using a Wearable Device
Systems and methods for optimizing sensor pressure in blood pressure (BP) measurements using a wearable device are provided. An example method includes recording substantially synchronously photoplethysmogram (PPG) data using a PPG sensor and pressure data using at least one pressure sensor on a wearable device, the wearable device having the PPG sensor, and wherein the at least one pressure sensor is substantially located over a user wrist radial artery while an external force gradually applies and releases pressure a plurality of times to the wearable device, wherein the external force is applied to the radial artery. The PPG data and the pressure data is monitored as the PPG data changes in response to the external force being applied and released multiple times during a period. From the recorded PPG and pressure data, a set data us formed of PPG peak values and pressure values. A curve is fitted through the data set. From the curves apex value a MAP value is determined.

Non-interdependent displacement measuring device for converting rotary motion to linear motion
A non-interdependent displacement measuring device for converting a rotary motion to a linear motion is disclosed, which includes a driving unit, a detection unit, and a resistance device. The driving unit includes an adjustment section and a driving section. The detection unit is arranged in the adjustment section. The driving section is connected to the resistance device. The detection unit includes a sensing module and a transmission module, and the detection unit is arranged in the adjustment section, so that when the adjustment section rotates, the detection unit detects turns and an angle of rotation of the adjustment section to generate a detection signal, which, after being subjected to calculation, is transmitted through the transmission module to the electronic device to display the level of an resistance, so as to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art that accuracy is poor, calibration is difficult, and fabrication is difficult due to a magnet and a sensor being arranged as two separate parts.
