Abstract

Blood pressure is one of the most important indexes for human beings' health. This paper presents an optimized algorithm to measure arterial blood pressure based on oscillometric technique. The bilateral filter and Gaussian-fitting method are respectively expressed to apply in noise eliminating, oscillation pulse extracting and curve fitting. The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure are determined by combination of proportional coefficient method, maximum slope method and curvature method. Moreover, a judgment for arrhythmias is employed in heart rate calculation. Experimental results have proved the precision and accuracy of the algorithm.
