  • Patent number: 11950887
    Abstract: Some implementations of the disclosure describe a blood pressure measurement apparatus and method that enable continuous, non-invasive blood pressure measurement using sound and ultrasound transducers. In one implementation, a blood pressure measurement device includes: a first transducer configured to emit multiple soundwaves having multiple frequencies, the soundwaves configured to cause a blood vessel of a subject to vibrate; a second transducer configured to capture one or more ultrasound images of the blood vessel; and a processing device configured to: determine, based on the one or more ultrasound images, a wall thickness, a radius, and a resonant frequency of the blood vessel; and calculate, based on the wall thickness, the radius, and the resonant frequency, a blood pressure of the subject.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200010876
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for the multiplexed detection of multiple analytes from a sample. Analytes may be nucleic acid analytes. Detection of analytes may comprise contacting one or more sample subsets with hybridization probes, thereby generating one or more cumulative signal measurements capable of detecting the presence of absence of a plurality of analytes.
