System and method for non-invasively monitoring hemodynamic parameters
First Claim
1. A system for non-invasively monitoring at least one hemodynamic vascular parameter of an individual, the system comprising:
- (a) at least two infrared detectors being positionable in a spaced apart configuration against a region of a skin of the individual above at least one blood vessel, each of said at least two infrared detectors being for individually collecting infrared spectral data from said region of the skin, said infrared spectral data corresponding to a volume of blood present within said at least one blood vessel; and
(b) a processing unit being in communication with said at least two infrared detectors, said processing unit being for independently processing said infrared spectral data collected by each of said at least two infrared detectors, said processing unit implementing an algorithm serving to account for blood reflection waves resulting from reflection sites in blood vessels, so as to yield information pertaining to the at least one hemodynamic vascular parameter of the individual.

17. A method of non-invasively monitoring at least one hemodynamic vascular parameter of an individual, the method comprising:
-
(a) positioning at least two infrared detectors in a spaced apart configuration against a region of a skin of the individual above at least one blood vessel;
(b) individually collecting in each of said infrared detectors, infrared spectral data from said region of the skin, said infrared spectral data corresponding to a volume of blood present within said at least one blood vessel; and
(b) independently processing said infrared spectral data collected by each of said at least two infrared detectors, while accounting for blood reflection waves resulting from reflection sites in blood vessels, so as to yield information pertaining to the at least one hemodynamic vascular parameter of the individual. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
