Blood Pressure (BP) estimation is an important component of cardiovascular health monitoring, with Photoplethysmography (PPG) emerging as a promising non-invasive technique. Our study introduces a novel approach for BP estimation by introducing a Siamese network architecture tailored for the inference of BP from PPG signals, employing a dual calibration signal approach as opposed to the conventional single calibration method. We evaluated the model’s predictive performance using Mean Error and standard deviation (ME [STD]), alongside Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient ( \(\rho \) ). Our results demonstrated the following: for diastolic BP, an estimation of 0.24 [5.92] mmHg with a \(\rho \) of 0.81, meeting the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard; however, for systolic BP, the estimation of 0.41 [10.65] mmHg with a \(\rho \) of 0.82 are comparable to current state-of-the-art approaches, but did not meet the STD of AAMI standard. Our study underscores the potential of deep learning-based methods to enhance cardiovascular health monitoring and to develop more precise BP estimation techniques. However, it also indicates that further refinements are necessary for improving systolic BP estimation.

摘要

Blood Pressure (BP) estimation is an important component of cardiovascular health monitoring, with Photoplethysmography (PPG) emerging as a promising non-invasive technique. Our study introduces a novel approach for BP estimation by introducing a Siamese network architecture tailored for the inference of BP from PPG signals, employing a dual calibration signal approach as opposed to the conventional single calibration method. We evaluated the model’s predictive performance using Mean Error and standard deviation (ME [STD]), alongside Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient ( \(\rho \) ). Our results demonstrated the following: for diastolic BP, an estimation of 0.24 [5.92] mmHg with a \(\rho \) of 0.81, meeting the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard; however, for systolic BP, the estimation of 0.41 [10.65] mmHg with a \(\rho \) of 0.82 are comparable to current state-of-the-art approaches, but did not meet the STD of AAMI standard. Our study underscores the potential of deep learning-based methods to enhance cardiovascular health monitoring and to develop more precise BP estimation techniques. However, it also indicates that further refinements are necessary for improving systolic BP estimation.
