  • Quantification of intermittent function of baroreflex from continuous arterial pressure data
    Patent number: 12678090
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring arterial pulse and heart rate of a subject includes a wearable sensor assembly configured to be attached to the subject to measure the blood pressure of the subject. The apparatus further includes a signal processor configured to receive blood pressure data from the wearable sensor assembly and to perform time-series analysis on the blood pressure data. The processor then determines baroreflex functionality of the patient, from the blood pressure data. Further, the processor determines an indication of hypertension in the subject from the baroreflex functionality.
