Abstract
A portable electronic device for assessing a human cardiovascular activity includes first and second probes substantially parallel to each other and located on either side of a third probe, substantially perpendicular to the first and second probes, each probe comprising an array of ultrasound transducers, and a control circuit configured to: a) estimate, by means of a first ultrasound beam emitted by the first probe, a position of a blood vessel with respect to the device; and b) adjust a second ultrasound beam, emitted by the third probe, according to the estimated position of the blood vessel.
