Abstract
Disclosed are devices and methods for non-invasively measuring arterial stiffness using pulse wave analysis of photoplethysmogram data. In some implementations, wearable biometric monitoring devices provided herein for measuring arterial stiffness have the ability to automatically and intelligently obtain PPG data under suitable conditions while the user is engaged in activities or exercises. In some implementations, wearable biometric monitoring devices are provided herein with the ability to remove PPG data variance caused by factors unrelated to arterial stiffness. In some implementations, wearable biometric monitoring devices have the ability to perform PWA while accounting for the user's activities, conditions, or status.
