1. A method of obtaining blood pressure data, implemented using an intelligent oscillometric blood pressure measurement (IOBPM) device comprising an inflatable cuff, apressure sensor, communication circuitry, a memory, and one or more processors, the method comprising: pairing the IOBPM device and a second device through the communication circuitry, wherein the second device is associated with an identity of a userand the IOBPM is not associated with the identity of the user (9) (4)

obtaining, by the one or more processors, data associated with the user, wherein the data associated with the user comprise: (a) data indicating that the IOBPM device and the second deviceare paired, and (b) data indicating the second device is associated with the identity of the user

obtaining, by the one or more processors, oscillometric blood pressure data from the user and associating the oscillometric blood pressure data with theidentity of the user, wherein the oscillometric blood pressure data are generated by the pressure sensor

determining, by the one or more processors, the identity of the user using the oscillometric blood pressure data, comprising applying a classifierto the oscillometric blood pressure data to determine the identity of the user

and sending, by the one or more processors through the communication circuitry, data indicating the identity of the user and the blood pressure data to the second device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: storing the oscillometric blood pressure data in a user account associated with the identity of the user. (0)

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the pressure sensor is selected from the group consisting of: a force sensor, a force sensitive resistor, a mechanical sensor, a load sensor, a load cell, a strain gauge, a piezo sensor, a membranepotentiometer, and any combination thereof. (0)

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the IOBPM device and the second device are paired through a wireless communication protocol. (2) (0)

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the data associated with the user comprise biometric data, and wherein determining the identity of the user comprises providing the biometric data to the classifier to determine the identity of the user. (1) (0)

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the data associated with the user comprise user input specifying the identity of the user. (0)

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the data associated with the user comprise data generated by one or more sensors of the intelligent oscillometric blood pressure measurement device. (0)

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the data associated with the user comprise data that are generated on the second device and obtained through the communication circuitry. (0)

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the intelligent oscillometric blood pressure measurement device comprises a user interface, wherein the method further comprising displaying the identity of the user or information derived therefrom on theuser interface of the intelligent oscillometric blood pressure measurement device. (0)

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the second device comprises a user interface, wherein the method further comprises displaying the identity of the user or information derived therefrom on the user interface of the second device. (0)

14. A method of obtaining blood pressure data, implemented using an intelligent oscillometric blood pressure measurement device and a second device, wherein the intelligent oscillometric blood pressure measurement device comprises an inflatablecuff, a pressure sensor, and first communication circuitry, and wherein the second device comprises a memory, second communication circuitry, and one or more processors, the method comprising: receiving, by the second device, oscillometric blood pressuredata from the intelligent oscillometric blood pressure measurement device via the first communication circuitry and the second communication circuitry, wherein the oscillometric blood pressure data are obtained from a user using an oscillometric bloodpressure technique, and the oscillometric blood pressure data comprise pressure oscillation data and blood pressure data (2) (1)
