Modeling a safety-related system for continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring

In recent years, Pulse Transit Time (PTT) - based non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring systems have been investigated extensively. But the most relevant studies did not pay attention to the safety requirement of the system. In this paper a method is proposed to model the safety-related system for continuous noninvasive blood pressure monitoring. The V model, 1oo2 system and safe Bluetooth communication are used to enhance the safety of the system.
