    Abstract: According to the present invention, blood pressure surges are detected from time-series data on blood pressure of a subject that varies with pulsation based on predetermined determination criteria. For each blood pressure surge thus detected, an envelope connecting a plurality of pulse-corresponding peaks forming the blood pressure surge is acquired as an individual waveform. Statistical processing is performed on a plurality of individual waveforms to obtain a representative waveform and waveform variation among the blood pressure surges in the time-series data. On a display screen, a curve indicating the representative waveform is displayed with the curve superimposed on a region indicating the waveform variation among the blood pressure surges.

  • Publication number: 20210361243
    Abstract: A blood pressure value analysis support apparatus includes a one-beat reliability determination unit and section setting unit. The determination unit determines reliability of a blood pressure value for each beat including a first reliability and second reliability lower in reliability than the first based on information indicating disturbance. The section setting unit sets valid and invalid sections for the time-series data of blood pressure based on a reliability determination result. The section setting unit includes a section wherein the blood pressure value reliability for each beat is the first reliability in the valid section and includes a section wherein the blood pressure value reliability for each beat is the second reliability in the invalid section, for the time-series data of blood pressure. The section setting unit changes the invalid section when a length of a continuous period is less than a preset first threshold value to the valid section.

  • Publication number: 20210361178
    Abstract: A blood pressure level change detection apparatus includes a change point detection unit and a level change/return determination unit. The change point detection unit detects a first change point as a change point in time-series data of blood pressure. A level change/return determination unit acquires a first average blood pressure level and a second average blood pressure level for time-series data of blood pressure. When a difference between the first average blood pressure level and the second average blood pressure level is greater than or equal to a predetermined level threshold value, the level change/return determination unit determines that a blood pressure level change has occurred at the first change point.
