System and method for obtaining bodily function measurements using a mobile device

A method for obtaining at least one bodily function measurement via a mobile device, comprising:

• in response to a user contact with a multifunctional surface of the mobile device:
• causing, by the multifunctional surface, a first sensor of a plurality of sensors physically coupled to an outer body of the mobile device to obtain a photoplethysmography (PPG) measurement;
• and
• transmitting, by the multifunctional surface, a user input signal to a processor of the mobile device;
• obtaining, via a second sensor of the plurality of sensors, an electrocardiography (ECG) measurement in response to the user contact;
• and
• generating, via a processor of the mobile device, a blood pressure measurement based on the photoplethysmography (PPG) measurement and the ECG measurement,
• wherein the processor is contained within the outer body of the mobile device, the outer body sized to be portable for the user, and
• wherein the multifunctional surface comprises at least one of the first or second sensors.

An apparatus for obtaining at least one bodily function measurement, comprising:

• first means for obtaining a photoplethysmography (PPG) measurement in response to a user action;
• second means for obtaining an electrocardiography (ECG) measurement in response to the user action;
• means for detecting a user contact and, responsive to a contact with the means for detecting the user contact, (i) causing the first means for obtaining to obtain the PPG measurement, and (ii) transmitting a user input signal to a processor, the means for detecting the user contact comprising at least one of the first or second means for obtaining;
• and
• means for generating, via a processor of the apparatus, a blood pressure measurement based on the PPG measurement and the ECG measurement, wherein the processor is contained within an outer body of the apparatus, the outer body sized to be portable for the user.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions for obtaining at least one bodily function measurement that, when executed, cause one or more computing devices included in a mobile device to:

• obtain, via a first sensor of a plurality of sensors physically coupled to an outer body of the mobile device, a photoplethysmography (PPG) measurement in response to a user action;
• obtain, via a second sensor of the plurality of sensors, an electrocardiography (ECG) measurement in response to the user action;
• and
• generate, via a processor of the mobile device, a blood pressure measurement based on the PPG measurement and the ECG measurement,
• wherein the processor is contained within the outer body of the mobile device, the outer body sized to be portable for the user, wherein the mobile device comprises a multifunctional surface, the multifunctional surface comprises at least one of the first or second sensors and the multifunctional surface is configured to, responsive to a contact with the multifunctional surface, (i) cause the first sensor to obtain the PPG measurement, and (ii) transmit a user input signal to the processor, wherein the user action includes the contact with the multifunctional surface.
