Abstract(in English) Non-contact Blood Pressure (BP) measurement is receiving a lot of interest for BP measurement on a daily basis. To realize non-contact BP measurement, the use of a Doppler radar has been investigated. A Doppler radar can detect the pulse wave caused by chest displacement due to heartbeat. BP can be estimated by constructing a BP estimation model using features that correlate with BP obtained from the pulse wave. However, compared to the case of modeling for each subject, the accuracy of BP estimation deteriorates significantly when modeling with multiple subjects other than the target subject. In this report, to improve the accuracy of BP estimation when modeling with multiple subjects, we proposed a non-contact BP estimation method using a Doppler radar based on subject classification. In the proposed method, subjects are classified by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering. A BP estimation model that inputs the features that correlate with BP and outputs Systolic BP (Systolic Blood Pressure) is constructed for each classified cluster. The experimental results showed that when modeling with multiple subjects other than a testing subject, the proposed method achieved high the BP estimation accuracy, compared to the method without subject classification.
