Optimized Blood Pressure Prediction With a Hybrid CNN-SVR Model Using Multiwavelength PPG

Botrugno, C., Dheman, K., Bonazzi, P., Dell’Olio, F., Magno, M. (2025) IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement

Noninvasive vital sign monitoring, especially blood pressure (BP), is crucial for evaluating overall health and identifying early indicators of medical issues. Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a noninvasive technique increasingly adopted in vital sign monitoring, as it allows for the continuous and precise measurement of cardiac-related signals. This technology is sensitive to fluctuations in blood volume within blood vessels, enabling real-time tracking of each heartbeat and identification of any irregularities. This study investigates the effectiveness of machine learning (ML) models for predicting arterial pressure based solely on PPG signals, utilizing a novel dataset and multiwavelength sensor technology…
