Continuous Blood Pressure Estimation From Non-Invasive Measurements Using Support Vector Regression.

Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most crucial vital signs of the human body that can be assessed as a critical risk factor for severe health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and hypertension. An accurate, continuous, and cuff-less BP monitoring technique could help clinicians improve the prevention, detection, and diagnosis of hypertension and manage related treatment plans. Notably, the complex and dynamic nature of the cardiovascular system necessitates that any BP monitoring system could benefit from an intelligent technology that can extract and analyze compelling BP features.
