Blood Pressure Continuous Measurement through a Wearable Device: Development and Validation of a Cuffless Method

The present study aims to develop and validate a cuffless method for blood pressure continuous measurement through a wearable device. The goal is achieved according to the time-delay method, with the guiding principle of the time relation it takes for a blood volume to travel from the heart to a per...
