Wearable device for measuring blood pressure

A wearable device for measuring blood pressure of a subject comprising:

• a control unit comprising:
• a housing;
• pumping means within said housing;
• and
• first connection means in fluidic connection with the pumping means, said first connection means being configured to allow a fluid to flow between the pumping means and an external environment of the housing;
• a band device configured to circle a body portion of the subject when in a closed state, said band device comprising:
• a bracelet comprising a bladder configured to be inflated and deflated to exert a pressure on the body portion;
• and
• a docking station configured to removably secure the control unit, said docking station including second connection means configured to co-operate with the first connection means to allow said pumping means to inflate or deflate the bladder,
• wherein said control unit is configured to determine blood pressure using the pressure exerted by the bladder on the body portion, wherein a first extremity of the bracelet is connected to a first lateral portion of either one of the docking station and the control unit, and a second extremity of the bracelet is connected to a second lateral portion of the docking station, said first lateral portion and second lateral portion facing each other, at least one of the first lateral portion and second lateral portion forming a connecting portion, said connecting portion including said second connection means, the docking station being interposed between the first extremity and the second extremity in the closed state.
