Abstract

We proposed the new method to estimate the blood pressure with the differential value of the digital arterial pulse waveform and BP relation equation. To get the digital arterial pulse waveform, we use the arterial pulse waveform measurement system that has digital air-pressure sensor device and smart phone. The acquired digital arterial pulse waveforms are classified as hypertension group, normal group, and hypotension group, and we can derive the average differential value between the highest point and lowest point of a single waveform of individuals along with the group. In this study, we found the functional correlation between the blood pressure and differential value as a form of BP relation equation through the regression process on the average of differential value and blood pressure value from a tonometer. The Experimental results show the BP relation equation can give easy blood pressure estimation method with a high accuracy. Although this estimation method has over 66 % error rate and does not give the high level of the accuracy for the diastolic compares to the commercial tonometer, the estimation results for the systolic show the high accuracy that has less than 10 % error rate.

본 연구에서는 디지털 방식으로 측정된 맥파의 파형으로부터 최대 높이와 최소 높이의 차이, 즉 맥파의 차동값을 이용하여 혈압을 측정하는 측정 기법을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 적분 방식의 디지털 압력 센서와 블루투스, 스마트폰으로 구성되는 맥파 측정 시스템을 이용하여 맥파 데이터를 수집하였다. 수집된 맥파 데이터들은 고혈압, 정상, 저혈압의 군으로 분류되고, 각 맥파 파형의 최고 값과 최저 값의 개인별 차동값 평균을 도출한다. 맥파 측정시 동시에 혈압계로 측정한 최고혈압과 최저혈압의 값과 맥파 데이터로부터 도출된 차동값의 평균값들을 회귀 분석하면 맥파 차동값과 혈압과의 상관관계인 혈압상관관계식을 도출할 수 있다. 이 혈압상관관계식을 이용하여 임의의 실험자의 맥파 측정을 통한 혈압 추정 실험을 수행한 결과 실험자들의 혈압값들을 용이하게 추정할 수 있었다. 기존의 혈압계를 사용한 측정치에 대하여 제안된 기법은 최저혈압의 경우는 최대 66 %의 오차를 보이므로 그다지 높은 정확성을 보이지 못하지만, 최고혈압의 경우에는 10 % 이하의 오차로 혈압값을 추정할 수 있었다.
