dc.description.abstract | Currently, one in three American adults suffer from high blood pressure, a condition
known as hypertension, yet only half have their condition under control (CDC, 2016).
Methods of continuous blood pressure measurement have been examined by the team
over the past few years. Using five hemodynamic interventions to fluctuate blood
pressure, blood pressure data was gathered from 35 healthy adult participants. This
data was useful in measuring pulse transit time and determining optimal locations for
biosensor placement. Participants were also surveyed to collect public opinion on
potential health monitoring devices for future development. Furthermore, the
potential of using mobile device applications was examined as an alternative method
of retrieving signals and calculating blood pressure. The results from this project
indicate that for a mobile device application, the best signals to use for estimating
blood pressure are PPG maximum to ECG R-wave, having an average correlation of -
r = 0.73 for the systolic blood pressure and -r = 0.71 for the diastolic blood pressure. | en_US |
