Abstract
A system and method for non-invasively sensing a blood vessel are provided. The system includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor has an array of ultrasound transducers that includes at least a first ultrasound transducer and a second ultrasound transducer. The controller is in communication with the first ultrasound transducer and the second ultrasound transducer, and a memory storing instructions. The instructions when executed cause the controller to: a) control the first ultrasound transducer to produce a first ultrasonic beam, to receive reflected first ultrasonic signals, and to communicate first sensed signals to the controller; b) control the second ultrasound transducer to produce a second ultrasonic beam, to receive reflected second ultrasonic signals, and to communicate second sensed signals to the controller; c) determine a first vessel diameter value; d) determine a second vessel diameter value; and e) determine a pulse wave velocity value.
