ABSTRACT:
A wearable heart rate monitor includes a wrist cuff or strap suitable for being placed about the wrist of a person, a display housing mounted on the wrist cuff, a pressure transducer element also mounted on the wrist cuff at a position to cover the radial artery when the wrist cuff is placed about the wrist, and logic circuitry disposed in the display housing for producing an indication of the pulse rate of the individual wearing the wrist cuff. The pressure transducer element detects expansion and contraction of the radial artery and applies a signal to the logic circuitry which then produces a visual display of the pulse rate.
