| Summary: | Pulse oximeter signal provides information regarding pulse rate and blood oxygen
concentration. It is also proposed for the possibility of Blood Pressure
measurements. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an existing
pulse oximeter can be used for obtaining signals and evaluating blood pressure.
The algorithm for calculating the blood pressure was suggested using pulse transit
time (PTT) and peak-to-peak time (PPT) to observe the changes of blood pressure
and analysis the correlation between blood pressure respectively.
This project involved to collected the datasets for Electrocardiogram (ECG),
Photoplethysmogram (PPG) and blood pressure. These datasets were obtained
from the 32 patients in the hospital by PhD student David Liu. ECG and PPG
waveform are plotted in the same diagram through Matlab. It is convenient to
calculated the PPT and PTT value. The changes of blood pressure are visible in
the graph. From this calculation, the relationship between blood pressure and PPT
and PTT can be found. |
