Title
A Novel Blood Pressure Estimation Method Combing Pulse Wave Transit Time Model And Neural Network Model
Abstract
Blood Pressure (BP) measurement can assist doctors to assess patients' cardiovascular status and diagnose heart diseases. Pulse Wave Transit Time (PWTT) model is one frequently used BP estimation method to monitor BP continuously in clinics. However, individual variations may influence the measurement accuracy of PWTT model. Focusing on above promble, this paper proposes a novel BP estimation method combining a classical PWTT model and a neural network model. The novel method is composed of five steps: signal pre-processing, feature extraction, initial PWTT model selection, model correction by neural network model, and final PWTT model identification. A validation experiment based on 10 patients from Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care (MIMIC) database showed that the BP estimation results by our method had a minimum mean of error readout value 5 mmHg with a standard deviation of error readout value +/- 8mmHg. As a result, both the diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure estimation by our method can meet clinical requirements.
