First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for calibrating a blood pressure monitor, the method comprising:
- receiving a photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal;
monitoring a value of at least one metric derived at least in part from the PPG signal;
comparing the value of the metric to a stored value;
determining based at least in part on the comparison whether the value of the metric corresponds to the stored value; and
determining, using a processor, whether to update current calibration parameters of the blood pressure monitor based at least in part on the comparison, wherein the calibration parameters are used for calculating blood pressure values.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for storing and recalling metrics associated with physiological signals. It may be determined that the value of a monitored physiological metric corresponds to a stored value. In such cases, a patient monitor may determine that a calibration is not desired. In some cases, a patient monitor may recall calibration parameters associated with the stored value if it determined that the stored value corresponds to the monitored metric value.
