Ballistocardiogram-Based Approach to Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring: Proof of Concept and Potential Challenges

Abstract

The proposed approach has potential to complement the pulse transit time technique for cuffless blood pressure monitoring in two ways. First, it may be integrated with pulse transit time to enable independent monitoring of diastolic and systolic pressures via the J-K amplitude. Second, it may even enable diastolic and systolic pressure monitoring from the ballistocardiogram alone.
