  • Publication number: 20240108303
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for noninvasively performing cardiac auscultation. In some implementations, a method includes: performing, using a BP cuff of a BP cuff system, a blood pressure measurement of a subject to obtain one or more blood pressure values corresponding to the subject; inflating, based on the one or more blood pressure values corresponding to the subject, the BP cuff to a subject specific pressure value; capturing, using the BP cuff system, while the BP cuff is inflated to the subject specific pressure value, a pulse pressure waveform signal associated with an artery of the subject; obtaining a sound waveform signal associated with a heart valve of the subject by filtering the pulse pressure waveform signal to extract sound components associated with the opening or closing of the heart valve; and analyzing the sound waveform signal to identify characteristics of the heart of the subject.

  • Patent number: 11839427
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses are provided for the measurement of intraocular pressure. These systems, methods and apparatuses can include an imaging apparatus for capturing two- or three-dimensional images or video of a patient's eye. An image reconstruction based on the captured images or video can be performed, and measurements can be taken of blood vessel features, curvature metrics, or distances between point pairs. In some embodiments, blood pressure measurements can also be taken synchronously with the captured images or video. From these measurements, a relationship between certain medical condition (e.g., elevated intraocular pressure, heart arrhythmia) and the extracted metrics can be established.

  • Publication number: 20230050058
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a non-invasive high resolution pressure pulse waveform measurement system. The system may include a blood pressure cuff, an air pump to inflate the blood pressure cuff to specific pressure levels, high resolution pressure sensors configured to perform high sensitivity signal acquisition at a specified pressure level, high range pressure sensors configured to measure an absolute reference for the signal and to calibrate the signal, pneumatic tubing connecting the air pump and sensors with the cuff, and a hydrodynamic filter configured as an input to a reference port of the high resolution pressure sensor. The hydrodynamic filter may be configured to transmit only mean pressure by attenuating a selected frequency range of the signal.
