Abstract

Raised blood pressure severely increases the risk of lethal cardiovascular diseases. Home monitoring of blood pressure is vital in early detection and treatment of hypertonia. Accuracy of indirect blood pressure measurement methods is sensitive to many physiological factors that are difficult to measure or control. The accuracy can be improved by using further sensors. In this paper, we propose a new method for the estimation of systolic blood pressure based on cuff pressure, ECG and photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals. PPG is measured without hardware filtering keeping the DC-component and avoiding the problem of distorting the signal. The proposed method was validated by applying it to healthy senior and healthy young adults at rest and by making a measurement series containing mild physical exercise for healthy young adults. Results of the tests clearly show the supremacy of the new method to conventional oscillometric procedure.
