Patent ID: 8449469

Claim:
A system for measuring blood pressure values for a user, the system comprising: a monitoring component comprising: a main component comprising an optical sensor, an acoustic sensor, first receptor and second receptor, a disposable component removably attachable to the main component, the disposable component comprising an exterior surface and an interior surface with an adhesive coating, a first electrode part, a second electrode part, a first aperture and a second aperture, the optical sensor extending through the first aperture, the acoustic sensor extending through the second aperture, the first electrode part removably connected to the first receptor of the main component and the second electrode party removably connected to the second receptor of the main component; a processing component for generating a blood pressure value for the user based on an electrical-based signal generated from the first electrode part and the second electrode part, an optical-based signal generated from the optical sensor, and an acoustic-based signal from the acoustic sensor; and means for transmitting information between the processing component and the monitoring component.
