Abstract: Objective Wearable blood pressure measurement technology is of significant vale in preventing and diagnosing of hypertension. Patent analysis on this area is of significant vale for patent layout. Methods Global patents on wearable blood pressure measurement are analyzed with patent analysis tools, such as Thomson data analyzer (TDA).Methods such as statistics approach, clustering method, citation analysis, similarity matrix are used to reveal the overall development of wearable blood pressure measurement technology in the world. Result Cuffless blood pressure measurement is found to be an important technical branch of wearable blood pressure measurement through statistical analysis and similarity matrix. The core patent in this area is owned by American companies such as Sotera. The research and technology transformation in China is inadequate in this area. Some advices were proposed on research and development in this areas.
