First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring blood pressure, the system comprising:
- a monitoring device comprising an adhesive patch sensor component that generates an optical signal and a processing component for processing the optical signal with calibration information to obtain blood pressure information; and
a computer system configured to receive and display the blood-pressure information.

Abstract
A monitoring device, method and system for monitoring vital signs of a patient over a wireless network are disclosed herein. The monitoring device includes an adhesive patch sensor, typically mounted on a patient'"'"'s head, and a processing component. The adhesive patch sensor typically includes an optical system that generates an optical waveform, and an electrode that generates an electrical waveform. The processing component processes the optical and electrical waveforms, along with a calibration table, to determine the patient'"'"'s vital signs.

15. A method for measuring blood pressure from a patient, the method comprising:
- attaching a head-mounted component of a monitoring device to the head of a patient;
generating light from a light source within the head-mounted component, the light directed at an artery of the patient;
absorbing reflected light originating from the light source with a photodetector positioned within the head-mounted component;
sending a signal representative of the absorption rate of the reflected light, the signal sent from the photodetector to a processing component; and
processing the signal with the processing component to determine a blood pressure value for the patient. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
