Architecture of mobile and desktop stations for noninvasive continuous blood pressure measurement

Abstract

Many types of blood pressure measurement devices can be bought in electronics shops. All such devices are contact measurement devices which need to be in contact of human body. Secondary they allow only one measurement per several minutes interval (ones per 10 minutes). Our goal is to develop a small device for noninvasive continuous measurement of blood pressure. This device must be a small battery powered embedded system which measure a blood pressure during a long time period and send this information remotely to operator's stations. In this station the analysis of receiving video signal is made for several types of usage. In current state we develop a small device to scan a video images throw the NIR CCD camera (Near Infra Red). The video signal is transferred by wireless connection to desktop station where it is analyzed. The first results provide an indication to be a right way to obtain exact continuous blood pressure information.
