Method and apparatus for limb circumference measurement

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• obtaining a first plurality of circumference measurements, each of the first plurality of circumference measurements corresponding to a respective first circumference around a limb of a person at a respective one of a plurality of locations of the limb, each of the first plurality of circumference measurements being obtained from a respective one of a plurality of elastic measurement elements that is positioned at a respective one of the locations, and each of the plurality of elastic measurement elements being attached to a cuff;
• obtaining a second plurality of circumference measurements, each of the second plurality of circumference measurements corresponding to a respective second circumference around the limb of the person at the respective one of the plurality of locations of the limb, the first plurality of circumference measurements being obtained at a first time, the second plurality of circumference measurements being obtained at a second time, and the second time being after the first time;
• comparing a second geometric profile along the limb to a first geometric profile along the limb, the second geometric profile being determined based upon the second plurality of circumference measurements, the first geometric profile being determined based upon the first plurality of circumference measurements, and the comparing resulting in generation of difference data between the second geometric profile and the first geometric profile;
• and
• presenting via a display a graphic visualization of the difference data, the graphic visualization showing a difference between the first geometric profile existing at the first time and the second geometric profile existing at the second time.

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a system including a processor, a first value representative of a first expanded circumference of a cuff at a point in time when the cuff is disposed on a limb of a person, the first value being obtained from a first elastic measurement element that is attached to the cuff at a first location thereof, and the first elastic measurement element traversing a first portion of the first expanded circumference of the cuff;
• obtaining, by the system, a second value representative of a second expanded circumference of the cuff at the point in time when the cuff is disposed on the limb of the person, the second value being obtained from a second elastic measurement element that is attached to the cuff at a second location thereof, and the second elastic measurement element traversing a second portion of the second expanded circumference of the cuff;
• determining by the system, based upon the first value and the second value, a geometric profile along the limb, the geometric profile being in a form that presents a first diameter and a second diameter, the first diameter being associated with the limb at the first location, and the second diameter being associated with the limb at the second location;
• and
• outputting by the system, to a display device, data to display a graphic visualization of a difference between the geometric profile and another geometric profile of the limb of the person that had been determined at another point in time that is different from the point in time at which the geometric profile had been determined.
