Abstract: There is disclosed a vital sign measuring device (VSMD) for obtaining an indication of a person's blood pressure via the person's finger by means of a finger cuff having an inflatable bladder. Blood pressure may be determined without the use of any electromagnetic radiation, such as miniature dynamic light sensing (mDLS). Apparatuses and methods for obtaining an indication of other vital signs, including hematocrit and total protein, are also disclosed.
