Patent number: 12251205Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure pertains to detecting a position of a blood pressure measurement device. An inflatable bladder of the blood pressure measurement device defines, at least in part, a pressurizable volume. The inflatable bladder may be inflated to pressurize a user's appendage and temporarily occlude blood flow in the user's appendage. A pump may initiate inflation of the inflatable bladder when one or more accelerometers and/or one or more proximity sensors determine that the blood pressure measurement device is within sufficient proximity or elevation to a user's heart and stationary.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: FITBIT, INC.Inventors: Xi Zhang, Keith Adam Wong, Andrew Larsen Axley, Dan Stefan Tudose, Conor Joseph Heneghan

Publication number: 20230218181Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure pertains to a blood pressure measurement device and methods of controlling an inflation rate in a blood pressure measurement. An inflatable bladder of the blood pressure measurement device defines, at least in part, a pressurizable volume. The inflatable bladder may be inflated to pressurize a user's appendage and temporarily occlude blood flow in the user's appendage. A pressure sensor of the blood pressure measurement device is configured to obtain blood pressure measurements, and a pump of the blood pressure measurement device is configured to inflate the inflatable bladder and control an inflation rate by controlling at least one of a duty cycle, a voltage, or a drive frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Dan Stefan Tudose, Xi Zhang, Keith Adam Wong, Andrew Larsen Axley, Peter W. Richards, Conor Joseph Heneghan, Radu Dobroiu, Alexandru-Mihai Solot

Patent number: 11026592Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure pertains to finger blood pressure cuff. The finger blood pressure cuff may include a housing having an opening sized to receive a human finger and an inflatable elastic bladder disposed about an inward-facing surface of the opening. The inflatable elastic bladder may be inflated to pressurize a user's finger and temporarily occlude blood flow in the user's finger. The finger blood pressure cuff may include a pressure sensor for obtaining blood pressure measurements.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2017Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Fitbit, Inc.Inventors: Xi Zhang, Keith Adam Wong, Andrew Larsen Axley, Dan Stefan Tudose, Conor Joseph Heneghan

Patent number: 10874308Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure pertains to a blood pressure measurement device and methods of obtaining pulse information from a blood pressure measurement. An inflatable bladder defines, at least in part, a pressurizable volume. The inflatable bladder may be inflated to pressurize a user's appendage and temporarily occlude blood flow in the user's appendage, where the inflatable bladder is inflated to a pressure greater than a maximum amplitude pressure from oscillometric data in a pressure profile. The inflatable bladder may be deflated and then re-inflated to a target pressure and held at the target pressure to generate pulse information, or the inflatable bladder may be deflated to the target pressure and held at the target pressure to generate the pulse information.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Fitbit, Inc.Inventors: Xi Zhang, Keith Adam Wong, Andrew Larsen Axley, Dan Stefan Tudose, Conor Joseph Heneghan, Radu Dobroiu, Alexandru-Mihai Şolot
