Abstract

Analysis of Blood Pressure Pulse Wave and Electrocardiogram Waveforms Measured by a Wearable Device with MEMS Sensors

Highlights

  • Diseases of the circulatory system, such as cerebral vascular disease and heart disease, are often reported as having a sudden onset as well as causing rapid changes in symptoms already present.[1]

  • Symptoms such as the development of hypertension or a rapid change in blood pressure may increase the risk of fatal diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.[2]. Frequent and continuous blood pressure measurements are important for the efficient diagnosis and treatment of such cardiovascular diseases

  • The blood pressure pulse wave and the ECG were simultaneously measured by arterial tonometry,(7) revealing the similarity between the continuously measured blood pressure pulse wave and the ECG

Summary

Introduction

Diseases of the circulatory system, such as cerebral vascular disease and heart disease, are often reported as having a sudden onset as well as causing rapid changes in symptoms already present.[1] it is of paramount importance to acquire daily biological data. Symptoms such as the development of hypertension or a rapid change in blood pressure may increase the risk of fatal diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.[2] Frequent and continuous blood pressure measurements are important for the efficient diagnosis and treatment of such cardiovascular diseases. With a wearable device, a subject’s pulse wave and breath can be simultaneously measured,(3) no attempts to measure vital signs associated with cardiovascular disease have been reported
