System and method for monitoring and analysis of blood pressure

A system for measurement and analysis of blood pressure of a test subject comprising

• a blood pressure measuring cuff unit, wherein
• the cuff unit comprises:
• an inner layer constructed using a high elasticity material, the inner layer configured to be in contact with a wrist of the test subject;
• an outer layer constructed using a low elasticity material;
• a bladder enclosed between the inner layer and the outer layer, such that the inner layer expands and the outer layer maintains a stable form responsive to inflation of the bladder to contain pressure applied to the wrist, wherein the bladder wraps around the wrist of the test subject and the pressure is applied uniformly to the wrist of the test subject regardless of an angle of rotation of the blood measuring cuff unit when attached to the wrist and a shape of the wrist;
• the cuff unit is constructed using a plurality of modules, wherein
• each of the plurality of modules comprises a physical enclosure,
• at least some of the one or more components reside within at least one of the physical enclosures corresponding to at least one of the plurality of modules,
• each of the plurality of modules are arranged adjacent to each other, further wherein
• a first module of the plurality of modules is connected to a second module of the plurality of the modules adjacent to the first module by at least one hinge, and
• the cuff unit coupled to a network;
• a waveform analysis subsystem comprising a communications subsystem coupled to one or more waveform processing subsystems via a first one or more interconnections,
• wherein the communications subsystem is coupled to the network;
• and
• wherein
• the cuff unit acquires a digital pulse pressure waveform from the wrist of the test subject, further wherein
• the acquisition comprises occlusion and de-occlusion of an artery within the wrist of the test subject,
• the cuff unit transmits the digital pulse pressure waveform to the waveform analysis subsystem via the network,
• the communications subsystem receives the digital pulse pressure waveform from the network, and transmits the received digital pulse pressure waveform via the first one or more interconnections to the one or more waveform processing subsystems, and
• the one or more waveform processing subsystems process the digital pulse pressure waveform to extract one or more blood pressure parameters and hemodynamic parameters.
