Oscillometric Continuous Blood Pressure Sensing for Wearable Health Monitoring System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an acquisition chain for the measurement of blood arterial pressure based on the oscillometric method. This method does not suffer from any limitation as the well-known auscultatory method and it is suited for wearable health monitoring systems. The device uses a pressure sensor whose signal is filtered, digitalized and analyzed by a microcontroller. Local analysis allows the evaluation of the systolic and diastolic pressure values which can be used for local alarms, data collection and remote monitoring.

A key challenge in wearable health systems is obtaining continuous blood pressure (BP) information, bypassing intermittent and intrusive cuff inflation. In this paper, we explore the fusion of heterogeneous sensors, notably electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and photoplethysmogram (PPG) pulse oximeter readings, along with activity and location information, for blood pressure information classifica...
متن کاملTissue-Informative Mechanism for Wearable Non-invasive Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring
Accurate continuous direct measurement of the blood pressure is currently available thru direct invasive methods via intravascular needles, and is mostly limited to use during surgical procedures or in the intensive care unit (ICU). Non-invasive methods that are mostly based on auscultation or cuff oscillometric principles do provide relatively accurate measurement of blood pressure. However, t...
متن کاملNoninvasive continuous versus intermittent arterial pressure monitoring: evaluation of the vascular unloading technique (CNAP device) in the emergency department
BACKGROUND Monitoring cardiovascular function in acutely ill patients in the emergency department (ED) is of paramount importance. Arterial pressure (AP) is usually monitored using intermittent oscillometric measurements with an upper arm cuff. The vascular unloading technique (VUT) allows continuous noninvasive AP monitoring. In this study, we compare continuous AP measurements obtained by VUT...
