摘要：
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for non-invasively sensingpulse rate and blood flow anomalies using a localized, uni-directional, andconstant magnetic field. The apparatus comprises a magnetic source for producingthe magnetic field, a signal acquisition module with a magnetic sensor for detectingthe modulations of the magnetic field caused by the blood flow and a signal processingmodule for processing the acquired signals so as to produce data of pulse rateand blood flow anomalies. The method senses pulse rate and blood flow anomaliesby providing a localized, uni-directional, and constant magnetic field in proximityto a blood vessel detecting the variations of the magnetic field caused by theflow of pulsatile blood within the blood vessel and processing the signals ofthe detected variations so as to monitor the blood flow.
