• Abstract summary: Blood pressure (BP) monitoring plays a crucial role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular diseases. Recent guidelines advocate for regular BP monitoring as part of regular clinical visits or even at home. BP measurements can demonstrate substantial biases and variances due to factors such as measurement and device errors, demographics, and body habitus.

• Abstract: Regular blood pressure (BP) monitoring in clinical and ambulatory settings plays a crucial role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the widespread adoption of ambulatory BP measurement devices has been driven predominantly by the increased prevalence of hypertension and its associated risks and clinical conditions. Recent guidelines advocate for regular BP monitoring as part of regular clinical visits or even at home. This increased utilization of BP measurement technologies has brought up significant concerns, regarding the accuracy of reported BP values across settings. In this survey, focusing mainly on cuff-based BP monitoring technologies, we highlight how BP measurements can demonstrate substantial biases and variances due to factors such as measurement and device errors, demographics, and body habitus. With these inherent biases, the development of a new generation of cuff-based BP devices which use artificial-intelligence (AI) has significant potential. We present future avenues where AI-assisted technologies can leverage the extensive clinical literature on BP-related studies together with the large collections of BP records available in electronic health records. These resources can be combined with machine learning approaches, including deep learning and Bayesian inference, to remove BP measurement biases and to provide individualized BP-related cardiovascular risk indexes.

  Blood pressure is one of the most influential bio-markers for cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

We present an end-to-end deep learning solution, BP-Net, that uses PPG waveform to estimate Systolic BP (SBP), Mean Average Pressure (MAP), and Diastolic BP (DBP) through intermediate continuous Arterial BP (ABP) waveform.

  Most existing methods used in the hospitals for continuous monitoring of Blood Pressure (BP) are invasive. In this study, we explored the applicability of autoencoders in predicting BP from non-invasively collectible signals such as Photoplethysmogram ( PPG) and ECG signals. It was found that a very shallow, one-dimensional autoencoder can extract the relevant features to predict the SBP and DBP with the state-of-the-art performance on a very large dataset.
