    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for determining an estimated pulse wave velocity of an artery of a subject. Embodiment methods may include applying a series of counter pressures, measuring a first parameter related to pulse wave velocity, estimating a second parameter in a model, and determining the estimated pulse wave velocity. The counter pressures may be applied at a set location on the subject over the artery with a pressure device. Each of the counter pressures may be different from one another, applied at the set location, and between zero and a diastolic pressure of the subject. The first parameter may be measured when each of the series of counter pressures is applied. The model may establish a relationship of the first parameter measured to each of the series of counter pressures. The estimated pulse wave velocity may be determined based on the second parameter estimated in the model.

    Abstract: One aspect of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a device capable of estimating blood pressure. The device includes two or more sensors capable of performing measurements along an artery. The device also includes at least one processing unit coupled with the two or more sensors. The processing unit is capable of accessing one or more parameters including a stress-strain parameter based on a hydrostatic pressure calibration. The processing unit also is capable of determining a pulse transit time (PTT) based on the measurements, and determining a pulse wave velocity (PWV) based on the PTT. The processing unit is further capable of determining a blood pressure based on the PWV and the stress-strain parameter.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for performing signal processing in impedance sensing applications, and more specifically, for recovering data from an amplitude-modulated signal. In one aspect, a device includes a sensing circuit operable to sense an amplitude-modulated signal having a carrier frequency. The device also includes a mixer operable to mix the amplitude-modulated signal with a mixing signal having a mixing frequency to provide a frequency-downshifted signal having an intermediate frequency less than the carrier frequency. The device also includes a filter operable to filter the frequency-downshifted signal to provide a filtered signal. The device further includes a sampler operable to undersample the filtered signal at an undersampling frequency to provide a digital signal, the digital signal being representative of a modulating signal.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of various embodiments enable measurement of blood pressure from an artery. The various embodiments may measure, using a non-interfering arterial measurement sensor, a first change in distension of the artery at a measurement location without interference to an arterial pressure at the measurement location during a series of pulses. A first pulse rate and estimated pulse pressures may be determined from the first change in distension. A coefficient may be determined fitting an exponentially decaying function representing an exponential decay of a portion of a diastolic phase to select ones of the estimated pulse pressures corresponding to the diastolic phase. An absolute blood pressure may be determined by applying the coefficient to a select mathematical model expressing a first relationship between the first change in distension of the artery and the pulse pressure in the artery at the measurement location.
