Wearable device design with continuous cuff-less blood pressure measurement

本研究旨在开发一种非侵入性的、可穿戴式的、能够真实的实时连续监测血压的装置。该项目提出了新的血压测量传感技术，该技术基于使用生物电阻抗、心电图（ECG）和连续波雷达的组合来捕获中央动脉中的脉搏传导时间。结合其他重要参数，包括心率、心律、呼吸率和血氧饱和度，预计该设备将通过无线连接实现远程监测，与目前在医疗保健环境中使用的传统有线监测方法相比具有许多优势，并将有助于更有效的预防、家庭护理和治疗。

This project aims to develop a non-invasive, body-worn device able to monitor blood pressure (BP) continuously in real time. The project proposes new sensing techniques for blood pressure measurement based on capturing pulse transit time in the central arteries using a combination of electrical bio-impedance, electrocardiogram (ECG), and continuous wave radar. Coupled with other vital parameters including heart rate, heart rhythm, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, it is expected that the device will enable remote monitoring with wireless connectivity and with many advantages over the traditional wired monitoring methods currently used in healthcare environments and it will assist with more effective prevention, home care and treatment.
