Abstract
The disclosed devices, systems and methods measure non-invasive blood pressure in a patient. Energy emissions, such as ultrasound or light, are emitted into tissues of the patient. The emitted energy reflects from various tissues, such as flowing blood and vessels, and can be detected, or received, to generate a reflected energy signal or data. The reflected energy can be processed, such as by using a constitutive equation, to calculate the blood pressure.
