Abstract: A wearable health monitoring system includes one or more RF electromagnetic transmitters (30-300 GHz) configured to transmit RF signals towards the skin over the artery of a user, one or more RF electromagnetic receivers configured to receive a reflected RF signals from a target body region on a user. A system has an attachment mechanism and standoff mechanism position the one or more RF transmitters and receivers relative to the target body region on the user at a known stand-off distance. The reflected signals and the transmitted signal are use to create an Intermediate Frequency signal which is used to determine a composite waveform via Principal Component Analysis, or other Dimensionality Reduction technique.
