Nighttime blood pressure (BP) is found to best predict the 5-year risk of cardiovascular death in comparison to daytime BP, BP measured over a 24-hour period and clinical BP. In view of this, a novel contactless system has been developed on a sleeping bed for the cuffless and continuous estimation of BP at night. Experiments were conducted on 11 subjects to evaluate the contactless system, particularly its performance compared to a contact system. The results of this study showed that the accuracy of the contactless system to estimate BP by a cuffless approach is comparable to that of the contact system when measured at the same posture. More studies have to be conducted in order to understand the difference of the cuffless BP estimation approach when measuring at supine and sitting postures. |
