A wearable blood pressure meter includes a cuff, a tactile sensor, a cuff actuator, and a controller. The cuff is sized and shaped to wear around a body part having an artery. The tactile sensor is disposed on or adjacent to an inward facing surface of the cuff. The tactile sensor is positioned along the inward facing surface to align with the artery and to measure pressure applied to the tactile sensor by the artery when the cuff is worn around the body part. The cuff actuator is mechanically coupled to the cuff to cinch the cuff around the body part. The controller is coupled to the tactile sensor to record pressure signals from which a blood pressure measurement may be determined.
