Abstract

A portable medical device is able to measure all four major vital signs and able to wirelessly communicate medical data in real-time to a user. The system includes an arm cuff air bladder of a vital sign detection assembly which may be worn about a forearm of the user. The arm cuff air bladder comprises several sensors in touch-contact with various vital sign detections points surrounding the forearm of the user and is able to detect and record a respiratory rate, a pulse rate, a blood pressure measurement, and a body temperature measurement for monitoring by the user.
