Abstract
A system and method for noninvasively measuring blood pressure is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a monitoring cuff comprising at least one sensor implanted within the monitoring cuff, the at least one sensor being configured to detect blood flow data in a user, an occlusion cuff configured to inflate and deflate to restrict and permit blood flow in the user, the occlusion cuff being in electrical communication with the monitoring cuff, and a computing device configured to control the inflation, deflation, and pressure applied by the occlusion cuff, and the computing device being configured to record and analyze the blood flow data detected by the monitoring cuff.
