Bi-Modal Arterial Compliance Probe for Calibration-Free Cuffless Blood Pressure Estimation

Conclusion: The feasibility of calibration-free, cuffless BP measurement at an arterial site of interest was demonstrated with a level of acceptable accuracy. The study also demonstrated the potential utility of the proposed method and system in hyperte- sion screening and local evaluation of arterial stiffness indices. Significance: Novel approach for calibration-free cuffless BP estimation; a potential tool for local BP measurement and hypertension screening.
