Arterial Tonometry for Blood Pressure Measurement

Arterial tonometry is a technique for blood pressure measurement in which an array of pressure sensors is pressed against the skin over an artery. In close collaboration with Colin Electronics (acquired by Omron), SRI engineers have developed minimally invasive arterial tonometry for hospital applications. The technology is available for license.

The primary application for tonometry instruments is blood pressure monitoring during surgery. They also offer unique advantages for applications in home and clinical medical, sports and physiological measurement, and psychological research.
