Abstract
A method for determining physiological characteristics is provided. The method involves causing light to be emitted by one or more light emitters toward a tissue of a user. The method involves obtaining samples of transmitted and/or reflected light. The method involves determining photoplethysmography (PPG) data based on the obtained samples. The method involves providing the PPG data as an input to a trained machine learning model, wherein the trained machine learning model has been trained, using a training set that comprises matched samples of electrocardiogram (ECG) data and PPG data. The method involves providing a blood pressure of the user based on an output of the trained machine learning model.
