Blood pressure estimation by pulse wave velocity measurement using conventional pulse oximeter.

Pulse Oximeter is a device that allows monitoring of pulse rate and blood oxygenation percentage in the artery by non-invasive means. It can be used to detect pulse propagation through the arterial vessel, the speed of which is called Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV). Pulse Wave Velocity has become an impo...
