Abstract:
Sphygmomanometer and stethoscope are the most widely used noninvasive method to
measure blood pressure. In this work a novel method to estimate blood pressure using
photoplethysmogram (PPG) is proposed. The PPG signal data was collected from an online
patient database, Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care (MIMIC),
developed by MIT lab. The estimated BP using the proposed method is then compared with
the reference BP acquired from the same database. The estimated results are in good
agreement with the reference blood pressure values.
