Zusammenfassung:As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the health monitoring system 100 of one embodiment includes an electromagnetic transmitter 110 configured to transmit an electromagnetic signal towards a target body region on a user; an electromagnetic receiver 120 configured to receive reflected energy from a target body region on a user; a calibration sensor 130 that measures reference cardiovascular-related parameters of a user (such as vessel pressure, stiffness, or motion); and an activity sensor 140 configured to detect the activity state of a user. The system also includes an attachment mechanism 150 for fixing the electromagnetic transmitter, electromagnetic receiver, calibration sensor and activity sensor to the user; and a stand-off mechanism 160 for fixing the electromagnetic transmitter and electromagnetic receiver at a known standoff distance from a target body region on the user.
