Abstract

Blood pressure may be measured using physiological signals, such as ECG, PTT, and $SpO_2$. In this study, we designed and implemented a portable real-time blood pressure measuring system, which can access the Internet simultaneously using the IPv4 / IPv6 protocol. In addition, we presented a model for the calculation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a real-time environment. Through clinical experiments on 28 subjects, the blood pressure measuring system was shown to satisfy the requirements of Grade B level of the BHS (British Hypertension Society) certification.

ECG, PTT 및 $SpO_2$와 같은 생체신호를 이용하여 실시간으로 혈압을 측정하고, IPv4/IPv6프로토콜을 이용하여 인터넷에 접속할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 아울러 임상 실험을 통해 실시간 환경에서 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압을 계산할 수 있는 모델을 제시하였다. 이렇게 구현된 실시간 혈압측정 시스템을 28명의 피험자를 대상으로 임상 실험을 실시한 결과, 영국 고혈압협회(BHS)에서 인증하는 혈압계 인증 등급 Grade B 수준에서 정상으로 동작함을 확인하였다.
