  • Patent number: 11864872
    Abstract: A method of estimating a continuous blood pressure waveform or a continuous blood pressure in a subject including: measuring an arterial blood pressure waveform or an arterial blood pressure with a sensor supported by a supporting structure comprising a polymeric substrate and connected to a processor and a transmitter, wherein the supporting structure is configured to press the sensor against a skin surface of a subject, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a biological metric of the subject, and wherein the processor is configured to quantify one or more signal(s) corresponding to the biological metric and the transmitter is configured to transmit the one or more signals to an external user system, and transforming the arterial blood pressure waveform or the arterial blood pressure to the continuous blood pressure waveform or the continuous blood pressure using a transfer function.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10898084
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a wearable device comprising a supporting structure, a sensor and an electronics module, wherein the supporting structure is configured to press the sensor against a skin surface of a subject, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a biological metric of the subject, and wherein the electronics module is configured to quantify and/or transmit one or more signal(s) corresponding to the biological metric. Some aspects relate to a method of monitoring a biological metric in a subject comprising: adorning a subject with the wearable device; and detecting the biological metric over a period of time in the subject with the wearable device. Other aspects relate to a method of treating a disease in a subject comprising: monitoring a biological metric in the subject over a period of time, and treating the subject with a therapeutic protocol, and monitoring the biological metric in the subject to assess treatment efficacy.
