Deep learning-based cuff-less blood pressure (BP) estimation methods have recently gained increased attention as they can provide accurate BP estimation with only one physiological signal as input. In this paper, we present a simple and effective method for cuff-less BP estimation by training a small-scale convolutional neural network (CNN), modified from LeNet-5, with images created from short segments of the photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal via visibility graph (VG). Results show that the trained modified LeNet-5 model achieves an error performance of 0.184±7.457 mmHg for the systolic BP (SBP), and 0.343±4.065 mmHg for the diastolic BP (DBP) in terms of the mean error (ME) and the standard deviation (SD) of error between the estimated and reference BP. Both the SBP and the DBP accuracy rank grade A under the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol, demonstrating that our proposed method is an accurate way for cuff-less BP estimation.

Background: Non-invasive, continuous blood pressure monitoring technologies require additional validation beyond standard cuff-based methods. This study evaluates a non-invasive, multiparametric wearable cuffless blood pressure (BP) diagnostic monitor across all hypertension classes with diverse subjects.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter study assessed Nanowear's SimpleSense-BP performance, including induced and natural BP changes, significant BP variations (Systolic BP (SBP) ≥ ± 15 mm Hg and Diastolic BP (DBP) ≥ ± 10 mm Hg), and reference input value validity over 4 weeks.

Real-time monitoring of blood pressure in athletes during exercise is of great importance, however, conventional methods pose challenges in achieving portable and instantaneous measurements. While, the electrodes used in emerging wearable blood pressure monitoring instruments still have certain defects. In this study, a novel cuffless blood pressure monitoring system was developed using a self-developed polyacrylamide/trehalose/LiCl (PAM/Trehalose/LiCl) conductive hydrogel as the electrode material.

Background: A promising approach to cuff-less, continuous blood pressure monitoring is to estimate blood pressure (BP) from Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV). However, most existing PWV-based methods rely on empirical BP-PWV relations and have large prediction errors, which may be caused by the implicit assumption of thin-walled, linear elastic arteries undergoing small deformations. Our objective is to understand the BP-PWV relationship in the absence of such limiting assumptions.

Background And Objective: Hypertension is a potentially dangerous health condition that can be detected by measuring blood pressure (BP). Blood pressure monitoring and measurement are essential for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Cuff-based devices, on the other hand, are uncomfortable and prevent continuous BP measurement.
