| Description | |
This new device, which we have dubbed PhysBP, allows the user to capture the pressure waveform from the brachial artery during a blood pressure measurement process. The gadget uses a pump which inflates the cuff, followed by slow deflation. The pressure waveform from the pulsating artery rides on top of a slowly descending pressure baseline. Hardware filters extract the arterial oscillation.
The gadget has been made for collaborating cardiologists who are interested in developing algorithms for analyzing arterial waveforms noninvasively. The PhysBP has an integrated PhysLogger, which is the main sensing and monitoring technology used inside this instrument. One version of this device is also deployed in the BodyLab part of PhysLab.
