Patent attributes
A wearable rapid pulse confirmation (RPC) device is designed to be worn by a living subject, and includes a Doppler array comprising at least one piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer, configured to detect a change in blood velocity in a blood vessel; a screen; a loud speaker; and a band or adhesive configured to hold the wearable RPC device in proximity to a body surface of the living subject. The Doppler array is configured to detect a change in blood velocity, pulse rate, pulse strength, or a combination thereof in a blood vessel; and to provide feedback through the screen and the loudspeaker. The Doppler array may include multiple types of piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers, including low frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers having a working frequency ranging from 2 MHz to <6 MHz; medium frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers having a working frequency of 6 MHz to 10 MHz; and high frequency piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers having a working frequency of 10 MHz to 18 MHz.
