    Nonlinear cuffless blood pressure estimation of healthy subjects using pulse transit time and arrival time

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement ; Volume 66, Issue 12 , 2017 , Pages 3299-3308 ; 00189456 (ISSN) Esmaili, A ; Kachuee, M ; Shabany, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    This paper presents a novel blood pressure (BP) estimation method based on pulse transit time (PTT) and pulse arrival time (PAT) to estimate the systolic BP (SBP) and the diastolic BP (DBP). A data acquisition hardware is designed for high-resolution sampling of phonocardiogram (PCG), photoplethysmogram, and electrocardiogram (ECG). PCG and ECG perform as the proximal timing reference to obtain PTT and PAT indices, respectively. In order to derive a BP estimator model, a calibration procedure, including a supervised physical exercise, is conducted for each individual, which causes changes in their BP, and then, a number of reference BPs are measured alongside the acquisition of the signals...

    Abstract
    This thesis addresses cuff-less blood pressure (BP) estimation, for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) estimation with the aid of the processing of vital signals. Both with and without calibration per person approaches for BP estimation are considered. A data acquisition hardware is designed for high-resolution sampling of phonocardiogram (PCG), Photoplethysmogram (PPG) and electrocardiogram (ECG). Using these signals, pulse transit time (PTT) and pulse arrival time (PAT) indexes, which would be used for BP estimation with calibration, are extracted. For the BP estimator model using the calibration, A nonlinear model based on PTT or PAT, via modeling the vessels...
