A new method of measuring blood pressure indirectly

Existing detectors for pulse flow parameters can be used only after blood pressure measurement and their operation is inconvenient. Thus a new method was proposed for measuring the human body arterial blood pressure values. Based on the relationship between arterial blood pressure and the characteristic parameters of the photoelectric volume pulse waves, correlation analysis between the parameters and arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressures was performed to determine which parameters strongly correlate to the arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressures, with the dependence of arterial blood pressure on these parameters obtained by linear regression, and human blood pressure was thus indirectly obtained. Compared with the conventional methods, the proposed one is more convenient, can be applied to non-invasive optical detectors and has more potential applications.
