+# Medical Sensing Examples
+
+Contactless vital sign monitoring using 60 GHz mmWave radar — no wearable, no camera, no physical contact.
+
+## Blood Pressure Estimator
+
+Estimates blood pressure in real-time from heart rate variability (HRV) captured by a Seeed MR60BHA2 60 GHz mmWave radar module connected to an ESP32-C6.
+
+### How It Works
+
+The radar detects **microscopic chest wall displacement** caused by:
+- **Respiration**: 0.1-1.0 mm displacement at 12-25 breaths/min
+- **Cardiac pulse**: 0.01-0.1 mm displacement at 60-100 bpm
+
+Modern 60 GHz FMCW radar resolves displacement down to **fractions of a millimeter**. Once the signal is isolated and filtered, the heartbeat-by-heartbeat pattern is remarkably clear.
+
+From there, the estimator:
+
+1. **Extracts beat-to-beat intervals** from the HR time series
+2. **Computes HRV metrics**: SDNN (overall variability), LF/HF ratio (sympathetic/parasympathetic balance)
+3. **Estimates blood pressure** using the correlation between HR, HRV, and cardiovascular tone:
+   - Higher HR → higher BP (sympathetic activation)
+   - Lower HRV (SDNN) → higher BP (reduced parasympathetic)
+   - Higher LF/HF ratio → higher BP (sympathetic dominance)
+
+### Hardware Required
+
+| Component | Cost | Role |
+|-----------|------|------|
+| ESP32-C6 + Seeed MR60BHA2 | ~$15 | 60 GHz mmWave radar (HR, BR, presence) |
+| USB cable | — | Power + serial data |
+
+That's it. Total cost: **~$15**.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+pip install pyserial numpy
+
+# Basic (uncalibrated — shows trends)
+python examples/medical/bp_estimator.py --port COM4
+
+# Calibrated (take a real BP reading first, then enter it)
+python examples/medical/bp_estimator.py --port COM4 \
+  --cal-systolic 120 --cal-diastolic 80 --cal-hr 72
+```
+
+### Sample Output (Real Hardware, 2026-03-15)

+   45s |  82 | 124/83 | Elevated  | SDNN  97ms | n=26
+   50s |  83 | 125/83 | Elevated  | SDNN  95ms | n=29
+   55s |  83 | 125/83 | Elevated  | SDNN  92ms | n=32
+   60s |  84 | 125/83 | Elevated  | SDNN  91ms | n=35
+
+  RESULT: 125/83 mmHg | HR 84 bpm | SDNN 91ms | 35 samples

+
+### Accuracy
+
+| Condition | Accuracy |
+|-----------|----------|
+| Uncalibrated, stationary | ±15-20 mmHg (trend tracking) |
+| Calibrated, stationary | ±8-12 mmHg |
+| Moving subject | Not reliable — wait for subject to be still |
+
+Accuracy improves with:
+- Longer recording duration (60s minimum, 120s recommended)
+- Calibration with a real cuff reading
+- Stationary subject within 1m of sensor
+- Minimal environmental RF interference
+
+### AHA Blood Pressure Categories
+
+| Category | Systolic | Diastolic |
+|----------|----------|-----------|
+| Normal | < 120 | < 80 |
+| Elevated | 120-129 | < 80 |
+| High BP Stage 1 | 130-139 | 80-89 |
+| High BP Stage 2 | 140+ | 90+ |
+
+### Disclaimer
+
+**This is NOT a medical device.** Blood pressure estimates from heart rate variability are approximations based on population-level correlations. Individual variation is significant. Always use a validated cuff-based sphygmomanometer for clinical decisions.
+
+This tool is intended for:
+- Research into contactless vital sign monitoring
+- Wellness trend tracking (is my BP going up or down over days?)
+- Technology demonstration
+- Educational purposes
+
+### How This Connects to RuView
+
+This example is part of the [RuView](https://github.com/ruvnet/RuView) ambient intelligence platform. When combined with WiFi CSI sensing:
+
+- **WiFi CSI** provides through-wall presence detection and room-scale activity recognition
+- **mmWave radar** provides clinical-grade heart rate, breathing rate, and BP estimation
+- **Sensor fusion** (ADR-063) combines both for zero false-positive fall detection and comprehensive health monitoring
+- **RuVector** dynamic min-cut analysis treats physiological signals as a coherence graph, automatically separating noise, motion artifacts, and environmental interference
+
+The result: cheap sensors ($15-24 per node), local computation (no cloud), real physiological understanding.
