1. A multi-vital sign device comprising:
- a finger cuff comprising;
a photoplethysmogram sensor;
a micro dynamic light scattering sensor;
a cuff bladder that expands and contracts in response to air pressure;
a first circuit board including;
a first microprocessor;
the first microprocessor operably coupled to the cuff bladder, the photoplethysmogram sensor and the micro dynamic light scattering sensor; and
a first digital interface that is operably coupled to the first microprocessor;
a pneumatic engine that is mechanically coupled to the cuff bladder via an air line and that supplies the air pressure to the cuff bladder;
a non-contact human multi-vital sign device comprising;
a housing having a top, two sides, two ends and a bottom and comprising;
a second circuit board including;
a second digital interface, the second digital interface being operably coupled to the first digital interface; and
a second microprocessor operably coupled to the second digital interface, the second microprocessor being configured to estimate a plurality of vital signs from data from the photoplethysmogram sensor, from the micro dynamic light scattering sensor and the cuff bladder;
wherein the finger cuff is mounted to the base that is mounted on one of the two sides of the housing of the non-contact human multi-vital sign device.

Abstract
In one implementation, a device detects multiple vital signs from sensors such as a digital infrared sensor, a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor and at least one micro dynamic light scattering (mDLS) sensor, and thereafter in some implementations the vital signs are transmitted to, and stored by, an electronic medical record system.
