A wrist wearable cuffless pulsimeter with a portable and small size apparatus using Hall effect is fabricated. The analysis of the pulse wave measured by the testing product of pulsimeter is done to measure the pulse rate and blood pressure. The blood pressure obtained by the puslimeter is compared with the practical values measured by electronic or mercury liquid blood pressure meters. The detail analysis of a pulse wave measured by a wrist wearable cuffless pulsimeter detecting the changes of the magnetic field can be used to develop a new diagnostic algorithm of blood pressure applying for oriental medical apparatus.

비가압 상태에서 혈압 및 맥박을 정확하게 측정한 값를 얻기 위하여 안정시 휴대성과 소형화가 가능한 자성 홀소자를 이용한 손목 착용형 맥진기의 시제품을 개발하였다. 본 시제품을 이용하여 맥진파를 분석한 13명의 임상시험 데이터로 상관인자를 정하여 혈압추정 알고리즘의 회귀식을 구하였다. 5초간 비가압 맥진기로 맥진파를 수집한 혈압추정값과 전자혈압계나 수은혈압계로 측정한 혈압값을 비교하였다. 비가압 맥진기로 추정한 최고혈압과 최저혈압의 표준편차는 혈압국제규격 허용치 범위 안에 있는 12.1과 5.9로 각각 나타났다.

We developed a cuffless and noninvasive measurement technique of blood pressure using tonometric pressure sensor. With observation that the maximum value of pulse pressure is not obtained at mean arterial pressure(MAP), we have figured out MAP based on the physiological characteristic including the elasticity of wrist tisse. Detecting only one part of the body and using only one device are quite advantageous over other BP measurement techniques. Our technique makes new way for the cuffless BP measurement.

Noninvasive, cuffless, and continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring is essential to prevent and control hypertension. A well-known existing method for this measurement is pulse transit time (PTT), which has been investigated by many researchers as a promising approach. However, the fundamental principle of the PTT method is based on the time interval taken by a pulse wave to propagate between the proximal and distal arterial sites. Consequently, this method needs an independent system with two devices placed at two different sites, which is a problem. Even though some studies attempted to synchronize the system, it is bulky and inconvenient by contemporary standards. To find a more sensitive method to be used in a BP measurement device, this study used radial electrical bioimpedance (REB) as a potential indicator for BP determination. Only one impedance plethysmography channel at the wrist is performed for demonstrating a ubiquitous BP wearable device. The experiment was evaluated on eight healthy subjects with the ambulatory BP monitor on the upper arm as a reference. The results demonstrated the potential of the proposed method by the correlation of estimated systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP against the reference at $0.84{\pm}0.05$ and $0.83{\pm}0.05$, respectively. REB also tracked the DBP well with a root-mean-squared-error of $7.5{\pm}1.35mmHg$.

비가압 상태에서 정확하게 측정한 맥진파형 신호를 얻기 위하여 영구자석과 홀소자로 구비된 안정시 휴대성이 가능한 집게형 맥진기 시제품을 개발하였다. 소형 영구 자석 1개 위치 변화로 얻은 요골동맥 맥진 파형의 4가지 중요 상관인자인 주기, 수축시간, 반사파시간, 절흔 시간들을 결정하여 5초간 수집한 실험값들을 서로 비교 분석하였다. 집게의 스프링에서 누르는 일정 압력을 사용해 가압 느낌 없이 재현성 있는 맥박수 및 혈압 측정함으로써 홀소자 집게형 맥진기 개발이 가능함을 보여주었다.

In this paper, we propose a subject-independent regression model to estimate systolic blood pressures (SBP) conveniently and continuously. There have been several researches on estimating SBP with pulse transit time (PTT) and they showed promising results. However, previous studies used only PTT as the estimation parameter, and their models were generated with just one person's PTT data which is not applicable to estimating other person's SBP. Therefore, we collected several additional biometric parameters with 202 healthy subjects. After statistical analysis of measured biometric parameters with SBP, we chose final estimating parameters including PTT to generate a multiple linear regression model for estimating SBP. Comparing the results of our study with approvable standards of automated sphygmomanometers developed by Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation and approved by American National Standards Institute (ANSI/AAMI) indicates that our proposed method for continuously blood pressures monitoring gives an acceptable error.

본 논문에서는 시계열 심전도 (Electrocardiogram: ECG) 및 광전용맥파 측정센서 (Photoplethysmography: PPG)을 이용하여 혈압을 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 혈압 (Blood pressure: BP)을 추정하기 위해 주기적 입력 신호를 생성하고 차동 및 임계값 방법에 따라 잡음을 제거한 다음 합성곱 신경망 알고리즘을 기반으로 하여 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압을 예측한다. 본 논문에서 사용된 데이터는 MIMIC 데이터베이스에서 총 3.1GB의 49명의 환자 데이터를 사용하였다. 실험결과 수축기 혈압의 평균 제곱근 오차는 5.80mmHg, 이완기 혈압의 예측 오차는 2.78mmHg을 나타내었다. 또한, 영국 고혈압 협회가 제안한 혈압계 평가 방법을 적용하였을 때, 최고 성능인 등급 A를 만족함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Backgrounds and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the applicability and precision of a ring-type cuffless blood pressure (BP) measurement device, CART-I Plus, compared to conventional 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Methods: Forty patients were recruited, and 33 participants were included in the final analysis. Each participant wore both CART-I Plus and ABPM devices on the same arm for approximately 24 hours. BP estimation from CART-I Plus, derived from photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, were compared with the corresponding ABPM measurements. Results: The CART-I Plus recorded systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure (DBP) values of 131.4±14.1/81.1±12.0, 132.7±13.9/81.9±11.9, and 128.7±14.6/79.3±12.2 mmHg for 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime periods respectively, compared to ABPM values of 129.7±11.7/84.4±11.2, 131.9±11.6/86.3±11.1, and 124.5±13.6/80.0±12.2 mmHg. Mean differences in SBP/DBP between the two devices were 1.74±6.69/-3.24±6.51 mmHg, 0.75±7.44/-4.41±7.42 mmHg, and 4.15±6.15/-0.67±5.23 mmHg for 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime periods respectively. Strong correlations were also observed between the devices, with r=0.725 and r=0.750 for transitions in SBP and DBP from daytime to nighttime, respectively (both p<0.001). Conclusions: The CART-I Plus device, with its unique ring-type design, shows promising accuracy in BP estimation and offers a potential avenue for continuous BP monitoring in clinical practice.
