Cuffless Blood Pressure Estimation Based on Monte Carlo Simulation Using Photoplethysmography Signals.

ABSTRACT: Blood pressure measurements are one of the most routinely performed medical tests globally. Blood pressure is an important metric since it provides information that can be used to diagnose several vascular diseases. Conventional blood pressure measurement systems use cuff-based devices to measure the blood pressure, which may be uncomfortable and sometimes burdensome to the subjects. Therefore, in this study, we propose a cuffless blood pressure estimation model based on Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). We propose a heterogeneous finger model for the MCS at wavelengths of 905 nm and 940 nm. After recording the photon intensities from the MCS over a certain range of blood pressure values, the actual photoplethysmography (PPG) signals were used to estimate blood pressure. We used both publicly
