Abstract
Various systems, techniques, and embodiments are disclosed for implementing a blood-pressure measurement method that does not require specialized equipment (such as inflatable blood pressure cuffs). The measurement can be taken from arterial locations within a user's finger, via the standard equipment and features of many widely-available consumer mobile devices. Such devices can be programmed to accurately and easily guide a user to press her finger on the screen of a device at a precise location, so that an accurate measurement can be taken. For example, guidance visualizations on a screen (such as finger silhouettes and animations) can be employed on the same screen on which a user presses her finger. Pressure sensitivity and optical camera readings are then used to calculate blood pressure for the user.
