1. A method for estimating a pulse transmit time (PTT) to calculate a blood pressure, comprising:

  • receiving, by a processor, a series of video images over a period of time that includes a first location of an individual and a second location of the individual;

    calculating, by the processor, a first set of luminance values of the first location and a second set of luminance values of the second location;

    estimating, by the processor, the PTT based on an average time difference from consecutive peaks of the first set of luminance values and the second set of luminance values; and

    transmitting, by the processor, the PTT to a blood pressure calculation device to calculate the blood pressure based on the PTT that is estimated.
