Publication number: 20230284981Abstract: Systems and methods for acquiring photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals for measuring blood pressure can include a computing device acquiring a sequence of images representing transdermal optical data of a subject, and generating a corresponding sequence of downsampled color frames. The computing device can identify, in each downsampled color frame, a respective central image block representing a central image region of the downsampled color frame and having a first size smaller than a second size of the downsampled color frame. The computing device can generate, for each downsampled color frame, a corresponding color intensity value based on the respective central image block. The computing device can generate, using color intensity values corresponding to the sequence of downsampled color frames, a PPG signal to determine a blood pressure value of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: BIOSPECTAL SAInventors: Eliott Jones, Jean-Francois Knebel, Urvan Christen, Frederic Frappereau, Patrick Schoettker
