1. A rapidly-deployable system for monitoring the health status of a patient, the monitoring system consisting of the following:

  • a plurality of rigid bodies that are pivotably attached by hinges and are disposed to surround a segment of a patient'"'"'s extremity;

    at least one protrusion that provides a mechanism for adjusting the size of the open space between the rigid bodies;

    a sensing apparatus that is able to detect pulsations from a circulatory metric from a majority of orientations about the patient'"'"'s extremity segment;

    a mechanical means for applying a loading to the segment of extremity sandwiched between the rigid bodies;

    a sensing apparatus for measuring the loading applied by the rigid bodies to the instrumented segment of extremity; and

    a processor for conditioning the circulatory metrics and determining the loading above which there is the loss of pulsations in the instrumented segment of extremity.
