Non-invasive continuous blood pressure prediction based on ECG and PPG fusion map.

ABSTRACT

To achieve real-time blood pressure monitoring, a novel non-invasive method is proposed in this article. Electrocardiographic (ECG) and pulse wave signals (PPG) are fused from a multi-omics signal-level perspective. A physiological signal fusion matrix and fusion map, which can estimate the blood pressure of blood loss(BPBL), are constructed. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the fusion map model, with correlation values of 0.988 and 0.991 between the estimated BPBL and the true systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), respectively. The root mean square errors for SBP and DBP were 3.21 mmHg and 3.00 mmHg, respectively. The model validation showed that the fusion map method is capable of simultaneous highlighting of the respective characteristics of ECG and PPG and their correlation, improving the utilization of the information and the accuracy of BPBL. This article validates that physiological signal fusion map can effectively improve the accuracy of BPBL estimation and provides a new perspective for the field of physiological information fusion.
