Pulse validation
First Claim
1. A method of identifying valid pulses from one or more measured pulses obtained with a measuring device positioned on a subject'"'"'s body, wherein the measuring device performs measurements of arterial dynamics, the method comprising:
- accessing, by a processor, sensor data representing the one or more measured pulses from one or more arterial measurement sensors of the measuring device;
determining, by the processor, an estimated pulse rate based on the one or more measured pulses and a first wavelet transform;
identifying, by the processor, at least one measured pulse from the one or more measured pulses within the sensor data based on the estimated pulse rate;
determining, by the processor, whether the identified at least one measured pulse includes one or more valid pulses based on a comparison of one or more first pulse characteristics of the identified at least one measured pulse to one or more second pulse characteristics of one or more reference pulses comprising the one or more valid pulses, wherein the one or more first pulse characteristics are determined based on the identified at least one measured pulse and a second wavelet transform, and wherein the second wavelet transform is determined based on the one or more reference pulses; and
based on determining that the identified at least one measured pulse includes one or more valid pulses, outputting, by the processor, a vital sign measurement result of the subject'"'"'s body computed using a first part of the identified at least one measured pulse that includes the one or more valid pulses and not using a second part of the identified at least one measured pulse that does not include the one or more valid pulses.

Abstract
Various embodiments identify valid arterial pulses of a subject. The method may include accessing one or more measured pulses from one or more arterial measurement sensors. The processor may identify one or more valid pulses from the one or more measured pulses based on a comparison of one or more pulse characteristics of the one or more measured pulses to one or more reference pulses. The one or more pulse characteristics are determined based on the one or more measured pulses and a wavelet transform. The wavelet transform is determined based on the one or more reference pulses.
