    Abstract: A wearable radio frequency receiver device is provided, which includes a receiver antenna configured to receive an interrogation signal from a transmitter. The receiver device further includes a sensor coupled to the receiver antenna and configured to receive a physiological input from a user wearing the device and generate a sensor signal based on the physiological input, and a modulator configured to perform direct modulation on the received interrogation signal based on the sensor signal to encode the physiological input in the directly modulated interrogation signal. The receiver antenna may be configured to reflect at least a portion of the directly modulated interrogation signal as backscatter radiation. A transceiver including a transceiver antenna may be provided to receive the directly modulated interrogation signal, and the modulation receiver may be configured to process the directly modulated interrogation signal and output a decoded physiological input.

    Abstract: Wearable pulse pressure wave sensing devices are presented that generally provide a non-intrusive way to measure a pulse pressure wave travelling through an artery using a wearable device. In one implementation, the device includes an array of pressure sensors disposed on a mounting structure which is attachable to a user on an area proximate to an underlying artery. Each of the pressure sensors is capable of being mechanically coupled to the skin of the user proximate to the underlying artery. In addition, there are one or more arterial location sensors disposed on the mounting structure which identify a location on the user's skin likely overlying the artery. A pulse pressure wave is then measured using the pressure sensor of the array closest to the identified location.

    Abstract: A wrist-worn device heart-monitoring device is presented. The wrist-worn heart-monitoring device includes a radial tonometer configured to output a pressure signal indicating a pulse pressure wave at a user's wrist, two or more electrodes configured to output an electrical signal indicating a user's heart has been commanded to contract, and a microphone configured to output an audio signal indicating a closing of a user's aortic valve. The wrist-worn heart-monitoring device further includes a pulse transit time monitor configured to calculate a pre-ejection period of the user's heart based on at least the pressure, electrical, and audio signals, and calculate a pulse transit time based on at least the pre-ejection period, the pressure signal, and the electrical signal.
