Abstract
An apparatus comprising a wearable device comprising a supporting structure, a sensor and an electronics module, wherein the supporting structure is configured to press the sensor against a skin surface of a subject, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a biological metric of the subject, and wherein the electronics module is configured to quantify and/or transmit one or more signal(s) corresponding to the biological metric. Some aspects relate to a method of monitoring a biological metric in a subject comprising: adorning a subject with the wearable device; and detecting the biological metric over a period of time in the subject with the wearable device. Other aspects relate to a method of treating a disease in a subject comprising: monitoring a biological metric in the subject over a period of time, and treating the subject with a therapeutic protocol, and monitoring the biological metric in the subject to assess treatment efficacy. Method are provided for estimating a central aortic pressure waveform in a subject comprising: measuring a radial artery pressure waveform in the subject and transforming the radial artery pressure waveform to a central aortic pressure waveform using a transfer function.
