Abstract
In this study, we try to estimate vascular compliance for management vascular disease. Because It is known the vascular compliance represents the state of the blood vessels. In general, the vascular compliance is estimated using an acceleration photoplethymogram from measured by photoplethymogram-based. The acceleration photoplethymogram is come from second derivative of photoplethymogram. By using the acceleration photoplethymogram, we can estimating vascular compliance, vascular age, vascular state. In this study, for measuring acceleration photoplethymogram we have developed a measurement device having analog filters. It has the advantage of miniaturization, low-power because it is simpler than digital filters. Using the developed device, we have estimated vascular compliance and tested the reliability of our device compare with conventional device having digital filters. As a result.
