SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL STATUS VALIDATION

摘要

Techniques for effectively and accurately measuring psychological influencing factors, such as the white coat effect and mental stress, that may affect or otherwise influence biometric measurements, such as blood pressure measurements, are described. Embodiments of a measurement validation system herein may utilize a method for determining an artery location on a living subject's skin and positioning a tonometry pressure sensor on the artery location for tonometric blood pressure measurement to obtain pressure pulse data for a subject. In operation according to embodiments, measurement logic of a measurement validation system may utilize the pressure pulse data to extract blood pressure data, heart rate data, blood pressure variability data, and heart rate variability data. The foregoing data may be utilized in identifying whether the blood pressure measurement properly and accurately reflects the situation of the subject.
