Abstract:
1. Computer readable apparatus comprising non-transitory media comprising a computer program having a plurality of instructions configured to determine an optimized location for placement of a pressure transducer on a living subject to obtain hemodynamic measurements therefrom, said plurality of instructions configured to, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: obtain a first pulse pressure measurement from said pressure transducer at a first location on a skin surface of said living subject; based at least in part on said pressure measurement, determine a first value indicative of a closeness of said first location to an optimal location; generate a trial sequence; direct said pressure transducer to relocate to at least one second location in accordance with said trial sequence; obtain pressure measurements from said pressure transducer at said at least one second location; and based at least in part on said pressure measurements obtained, determine a second value, said second value being indicative of a closeness of said at least one second location to said optimal location.
