Abstract
This chapter introduces a systematic framework to navigate through the universe of cuffless blood pressure technologies. The chapter is organized in three parts. Initially, a glossary is provided to anchor the discussion and formalize the terms involved in cuffless blood pressure monitoring. Then, a classification of existing blood pressure monitoring technologies is proposed together with a formal definition of a cuffless blood pressure monitor. Finally, an generic system architecture is presented organizing all the elements that any cuffless blood pressure monitor shall contain.
