Abstract: Methods and devices for long term, cuffless, and continuous arterial blood pressure estimation using an end-to-end deep learning approach are provided. A deep learning system comprises three modules: a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) module for learning powerful features; a one- or multi-layer recurrent neural network (RNN) module for modeling the temporal dependencies in blood pressure dynamics; and a mixture density network (MDN) module for predicting final blood pressure value. This system takes raw physiological signals, such as photoplethysmogram and/or electrocardiography signals, as inputs and yields arterial blood pressure readings in real time.

The method for deriving a depth-specific photoplethysmography (PPG) signal from multi-wavelength PPG signals includes choosing light wavelength combinations, calibrating a multi-layer light-tissue interaction model referring to a physiological signal, and generating the depth-specific PPG signal from the multi-wavelength PPG signals based on the calibrated light-tissue interaction model.

Abstract: Novel and advantageous systems, devices, and methods for pulse wave velocity (PWV) imaging that enable precise central blood pressure (BP) estimation are provided. A multi-sensor array can provide two-dimensional PWV, thereby achieving the PWV imaging and precise central BP estimation. The multi-sensor array can be integrated in daily objects, such as clothing or a bed, which results in noninvasive, continuous, low-cost monitoring of BP that is easy to use and does not require a medical professional. Electrocardiogram imaging, photoplethysmogram imaging, and monitoring for other physiological parameters such as heart rate, SpO2, BP, and respiration, can also be achieved.
