Multi-Sensor Fusion Approach for Cuff-Less Blood Pressure Measurement

Cuff - less Continuous Monitoring of Beat - To - Beat Blood Pressure Using A Kalman Filter and Sensor Fusion

Cuff-Less and Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring: A Methodological Review

Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most important monitoring parameters in clinical medicine. For years, the cuff-based sphygmomanometer and the arterial invasive line have been the gold standards for care professionals to assess BP. During the past few decades, the wide spread of the oscillometry-based BP arm or wrist cuffs have made home-based BP assessment more convenient and accessible. Howe...

Multi-Sensor Conflict Measurement and Information Fusion

In sensing applications where multiple sensors observe the same scene, fusing sensor outputs can provide improved results. However, if some of the sensors are providing lower quality outputs, e.g. when one or more sensors has a poor signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) and therefore provides very noisy data, the fused results can be degraded. In this work, a multi-sensor conflict measure is proposed whic...

Blood pressure measurement: arm circumference and cuff size availability.

To avoid inaccurate blood pressure (BP) readings, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends cuff width (CW) encircling 40% of the arm circumference (AC) and cuff length at least 80-100%. This study aimed to identify inpatients AC, the corresponding cuff size and the cuff size availability. In total, 81 AC were measured in the right arm. The cuff sizes to fit them were calculated according...

Arm cuff in the measurement of blood pressure.

Selection of an arm cuff of the right size is necessary for accurate measurement of blood pressure (BP). Incorrect measurement can result either in unnecessary investigations, treatment, and follow-up for the mistaken diagnosis of hypertension, or no treatment for hypertension in individuals mistakenly thought to have normal BP. This is of particular importance in children, who have age-depende...
