Development of intelligent healthcare system based on ambulatory blood pressure measuring device

Abstract

Currently, the market size of blood pressure monitors both in domestic and overseas is gradually increasing due to the increase in hypertension patients resulting from aging population. In addition, the necessity of developing systems and devices for the healthcare of hypertension patients is also increasing. Moreover, the determination of health normality in respect to the management of hypertension patients is possible, but it is essentially important to incorporate preventive healthcare. Thus, further studies on deep learning-based prediction technology using previous data are needed. This paper proposes the development of an intelligent healthcare management system that can help to manage the health of hypertensive patients. The system includes a wrist-worn ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device that can analyze the normality of measured blood pressures. The performance evaluation results of the proposed system verified the reliability of data acquisition as compared with the existing equipment as well as the efficiency of the intelligent healthcare system.
