摘要:
A system is described that continuously measures a patients blood pressure over a length of time. The system features a sensor assembly featuring a flexible cable configured to wrap around a portion of a patients arm. The flexible cable features a back surface that includes at least two electrodes that are positioned to contact the patients skin to generate electrical signals. It additionally features an optical sensor that includes at least one light source and at least one photodetector. These components form an optical sensor that is configured to generate an optical signal by detecting optical radiation emitted by the at least one light source and reflected from a blood vessel underneath the patients skin.
