Abstract This thesis describes the development of pressure sensor arrays and a range of methods suitable for the long-term measurement of heart rate and blood pressure determination using a cuff and a pressure sensor array on the radial artery. This study also reviews the historical background of noninvasive blood pressure measurement methods, summarizes the accuracies achieved and explains the requirements for common national and international standards of accuracy. Two prototype series of pressure transducer arrays based on electro-mechanical film (EMFi) were designed and tested. By offeri

Abstract:
Central aortic systolic blood pressure (cSBP) differs from peripheral systolic blood pressure (pSBP) measured in the arm. cSBP may be estimated non-invasively by application of a generalised transfer function (GIF) to a high fidelity peripheral arterial waveform or from the late systolic shoulder (SBP2) of such a waveform. The relative accuracy of these estimates and the degree to which they depend on the accuracy of peripheral blood pressure is unknown. The interest in estimates of central blood pressure is driven in large part by the fact that aortic pulse pressure (cPP) is thought to be a b

Abstract:
Current noninvasive blood pressure (BP) measurement methods estimate the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) at two random instants in time. The BP variability and its serious consequences on the measurement are not recognized by most physicians. The standard for automated BP devices sets a maximum allowable system error of +/- 5 mmHg, even though natural BP variability often exceeds these limits. This thesis characterizes the variability of SBP and DBP and proposes a new approach to augment the conventional noninvasive measurement using simultaneous recordings of the oscillome

Blood pressure is one of the most important indicators of human health. The symptoms of many cardiovascular diseases like stroke, atrial fibrillation, and acute myocardial infarction are usually indicated by the abnormal variation of blood pressure.

This thesis work presents the analysis of Oscillometric blood pressure pulse waveform under different pressure points (Systolic, Mean Arterial, and Diastolic Pressures). Pulse waveforms' characteristics were determined from the waveforms at three different pressures and are compared for subjects at three different age groups. Estimation of blood pressure using a morphology based approach was done by using the change of pulse waveform characteristics at different pressure points. Pulse waveforms' characteristics that were obtained from pulse waveforms are utilized to estimate SBP, MAP, and DBP.

There is a progressive and substantial shift in the global burden of disease towards non-communicable diseases, of which high blood pressure is one of the most important. While the relationship between blood pressure and risk is a continuous one, modified by individual- and population-level risk factors, the term hypertension is often applied to denote a blood pressure threshold associated with increased mortality that might justify intervention. Hypertension is a lifecourse disease with risk-factors that begin in early life playing an important role in establishing adverse risk trajectories.
