SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE ESTIMATION USING

ANDROID SMART PHONES

ABSTRACT

Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is one of the important vital signs that need to
be monitored for personal healthcare. Measuring SBP via pulse wave transit time
(PWTT) requires monitoring ECG and pulse wave signals simultaneously, which
has no portability. And before the measurement the parameters indicating the
relationship between BP and PWTT must be calculated through training.
Volume pulse waves were acquired by a smart phone with its built-in
camera, and then accelerated pulse waves were gotten through filtering, amplifying
and processing the signals. The PWTT between the progressive and reflected
waves of the accelerated pulse waves was calculated. The tester swayed his arm
with hand holding the same phone to change the SBP for the training. The
displacement of the hand was calculated through the accelerometer of the smart
phone.
Experimental results indicated that there is no obvious difference between
SBP measured by the new system and by an electronic sphygmomanometer with
error less than 10mmHg.

EXISTING SYSTEM

Blood pressure is typically measured using a mercury sphygmomanometer

or an electronic sphygmomanometer. However, most people do not carry these
devices during their daily life.

DISADVANTAGE

Not a efficient
Money waste
Time waste
More complex for old people

PROPOSED SYSTEM

Smart phones today have become a necessity for life and they have become
increasingly popular with high-end processors, high-resolution cameras and built-
in sensors such as accelerometer, orientation sensor, and light-sensor. We focus on
using smart phone to replace the traditional stethoscope and cuff-based
measurement technique. The technique we proposed is based on the linear model
between SBP and PWTT.

ADVANTAGE

More efficient
Low cost
Easily measure
