Abstract(in English) Recently, non-contact blood pressure measurement is receiving a lot of interests because it is suitablefor the blood pressure measurement on a daily basis. A Doppler radar is a key device to enable non-contact blood pressure measurement, and it can observe pulse waves due to aortic vasomotion. Speci cally, PTT (Pulse Transit Time) is known to be correlated with the blood pressure, and the blood pressure can be measured by calculating the PTT from the pulse waves. However, due to respiration and slight body movements, the pulse wave could be distorted, which makes it difficult to calculate PTT. To prevent the distortion of the pulse waves due to slight body movements and breathing, the conventional method requires a subject to lie down on a bed and to stop breathing. In this report, we propose a Doppler radar-based blood pressure measurement method that works against a subject not to move and breathe. To measure the blood pressure even from the distorted plus waves, in the proposed method, by relating features of the distorted pulse wave to those of the clean pulse wave using a deep learning model with LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), the distorted pulse wave is transformed to a clean pulse wave that provides PTT correlated with the blood pressure strongly. The experimental results showed that the PTT calculated by the proposed method has a strong correlation with the actual blood pressure, and our proposal could estimate the blood pressure accurately, compared with the conventional method.
