Continuous blood pressure measurement system based on low cuff pressure approach

The main propose of the research is to acquire the continuous pulse at the patient's radial artery based on low cuff pressure approach. Low cuff pressure approach combines the conventional Oscillometry and the process of low pressure to perform noninvasive and continuous blood pressure measurement. According to the experimental results, low pressure approach could achieve continuous blood pressure measurement. Besides, the proposed method guarantees the accuracy and the comfortability of the system.
