Patent Images
1. A phone comprising:
- a phone body defining a handle and an earpiece;
a pulse oximeter oxygen saturation sensor positioned in a concave recess at least partially on a left side of the handle;
a first electrocardiogram electrode positioned on the handle;
a second electrocardiogram electrode positioned on the earpiece; and
means for transmitting electrocardiography measurements obtained using the first and second electrocardiogram electrodes and photo plethysmography measurements obtained using the pulse oximeter oxygen saturation sensor for use in determining one or more of the pulse transmit time and blood pressure of a user based on the electrocardiography and photo plethysmography measurements.
