This study presents a non-contact approach to measuring heart rate and blood pressure using an image photoplethysmography (iPPG) signal, and compares the results to those from an oscillometric blood pressure meter. Facial videos of 100 subjects were recorded via a webcam under ambient lighting conditions to extract iPPG signals. The results revealed a strong correlation between the heart rate derived from iPPG and that obtained from an oscillometric blood pressure meter. In addition, a continuous wavelet transform images with a 6-s duration were used as input for a custom convolutional neural network model, providing the most accurate blood pressure estimation. The proposed method received a grade A for diastolic and grade B for systolic blood pressure based on the British Hypertension Society's criteria. It also met the standards set by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. This non-contact framework shows promising potential for efficient screening purposes.
本研究提出了一种使用图像光电容积脉搏波描记法(iPPG)信号测量心率和血压的非接触式方法,并将结果与示波血压计的结果进行比较。在环境光照条件下,通过网络摄像头记录了100名受试者的面部视频,以提取iPPG信号。结果显示,从iPPG得出的心率与从示波血压计获得的心率之间存在很强的相关性。此外,将持续6秒的连续小波变换图像用作定制卷积神经网络模型的输入,可提供最准确的血压估计。根据英国高血压学会的标准,该方法的舒张压评级为A,收缩压评级为B。它还符合医疗仪器促进协会设定的标准。这种非接触式框架在高效筛查方面显示出有前景的潜力。
