Blood pressure measurement using finger cuff

Many research groups have studied blood pressure measurement in finger artery because of its convenience. But, low accuracy prohibits many hypertension patients from using this device. So, we suggest measurement algorithm that measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure in finger artery. And we also develop calibration method that decreases the error from difference of finger circumference by subjects. We apply our methods for 90 subjects (age from 20 to 49, 55 male, 35 female) to test feasibility of our method by AAMI SP10 standard. The mean difference of our system is plusmn4.7 mmHg for systolic pressure, plusmn4.2 mmHg for systolic pressure. It proved that the feasibility of our method is clinically acceptable (under plusmn5 mmHg)
