Abstract

This paper aims to demonstrate the use of a finger-cuff system in the approximation of one’s systolic and diastolic value based on the acquired heart pulse data. The prediction of the required systolic and diastolic value of blood pressure is via the use of two-element Windkessel Model. The results are compared for three groups of individuals of different clinically measured blood pressure range. A comparison with the result given from clinically available arm-cuff blood pressure monitor revealed a relatively low mean difference of 1.6 ± 3 mmHg predicted for the systolic values, while a considerably larger difference of 25.3 ± 6.3 mmHg is found for the estimated diastolic values. This work concluded that the proposed strategy that used heart pulse in its analysis may be used as an alternative means for continuous measurement of one’s blood pressure, but a system with high sampling resolution may be required to improve the accuracy of the predicted value.
