  • Publication number: 20230320667
    Abstract: A contactless physiological measurement device is disclosed. The contactless physiological measurement device is an electronic device comprising a processor and a memory storing an application program. When the application program is executed, the processor controls a front camera and a rear camera of the electronic device to photograph a user, so as to obtain a face image and a hand image. Subsequently, after extracting a first rPPG signal and a second rPPG signal from the face image and the hand image respectively, physiological parameters are calculated by apply a signal process to the first/second rPPG signal. Moreover, a signal parameter difference is also acquired after applying a signal difference calculation to the two rPPG signals. Consequently, an estimation value of blood pressure is outputted by inputting user anthropometric parameter, said signal parameter difference and at least one physiological parameter into a pre-trained blood pressure estimating model.
