Abstract

The purpose of this research is to design a device that is simple, portable, wireless, and can measure blood pressure accurately. The motivation of this study is to develop a device for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Specifically, a device that is portable, wireless, and can accurately measure blood pressure. Upon determining their blood pressure, individuals can take preventive measures before serious risk to one's health can occur. The device is designed using the principles of plethysmography and electrocardiography in order to obtain the Pulse Transit Time for blood pressure calculation. The device demonstrates novelty by its light weight, portable size, and low cost. The compact, low-cost design of the proposed system could be implemented and deployed easily in developing nations wherein access to healthcare facilities is limited. This system could also be one of the many systems which measure simple body parameters for monitoring activities of daily life and disease prevention.
用于低成本血压监测的集成生物信号可穿戴系统
本研究的目的是设计一种简单、便携、无线且能准确测量血压的设备。这项研究的动机是为患有心血管疾病和高血压的人开发一种设备。具体来说,是一种便携式、无线的、能准确测量血压的设备。在确定血压后,个人可以在对健康造成严重危害之前采取预防措施。该装置是利用体积脉搏图和心电图的原理设计的,目的是获得用于计算血压的脉冲传递时间。该设备重量轻,尺寸便携,成本低,具有创新性。该系统紧凑、低成本的设计可以很容易地在获得医疗保健设施有限的发展中国家实施和部署。该系统也可以是许多测量简单身体参数的系统之一,用于监测日常生活活动和预防疾病。
