EVALUATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE ESTIMATION USING PULSE TRANSIT TIME DURING CHANGES IN PHYSIOLOGICAL STATUS

Amanda Sklarsky

I tested the validity of Pulse Transit Time (PTT), a mechanism of blood pressure estimation, for my honors thesis. Companies such as Apple hope to incorporate PTT into wearable devices to provide a more wholistic view of health; the implications of such an advancement (a cuff-less, continuous, noninvasive BP measurement) are vast. This experience has established a foundation from which I will launch my career in business administration for the healthcare/medical device industries.
