Abstract

The oscillometric method still challenges accurate blood pressure measurement due to its difficulty compensating for pregnancy, age, hypo-, and hypertension. Global sensitivity analysis methods were used to develop a simplified model that is useful for directing and optimizing the design of an automated oscillometric blood pressure measurement system. The most influential biological and design parameters were identified allowing the calculation of output error ranges and methods to estimate important bio-parameter values.
