NEC develops high-precision blood pressure measurement technology for low-load sleep measurement

The traditional blood pressure measurement method must be inflated and pressurized above the highest blood pressure to give the arm a strong pressure. Now NEC develops this new technology, which greatly reduces the pressure, analyzes the blood vessel waveform through the sensor, and estimates the blood flow. With changes, you can measure high-precision blood pressure values. In addition, NEC also includes airbags, power supplies, etc., all in the cuff, achieving device integration while reducing the size of the cuff.

This low-load blood pressure measurement technology not only reduces the pressure of the blood vessels during measurement, but also makes the measurement more convenient. The blood pressure value can be obtained 24 hours a day in daily life or even during sleep.

NEC is committed to providing social solutions, and ICT solutions in the health sector are also one of its priorities. In the future, NEC will continue to use vital sign monitoring technology to extract various data and use ICT technology to improve the medical quality and comfort of a super-aging society.

  Development background

According to the 2013 China Education Guidelines for Hypertension Patients, there are more than 260 million people with hypertension in China. In 2013, for the first time, the World Health Organization took the prevention and control of hypertension as the theme of World Health Day, emphasizing the need to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by controlling hypertension, highlighting the importance of prevention and treatment of hypertension.

Blood pressure has become an important indicator for prevention and control of stroke and myocardial infarction, but blood pressure fluctuations are large during the day, with two peaks in the morning and evening, two lows in the noon and early morning; others have normal blood pressure at home. In the medical environment, the blood pressure is elevated, called white blood pressure; and the opposite is true in the medical environment, the blood pressure is high in the hospital, so people hope to continue to measure blood pressure in daily life, to obtain real and reliable Reference indicator. As far as the current measurement method is concerned, since the arm is strongly pressed, it is impossible to measure at any time in daily life and in a sleep state; the blood pressure meter device also needs simple assembly during measurement, which also hinders the patient's enthusiasm for preventing disease.

In order to solve the above problems, NEC and the Yokohama City University Faculty of Medicine, Professor Masahiro Kakubo, jointly launched a low-pressure, high-precision "low-load blood pressure measurement technology" research.

Technical characteristics

The traditional blood pressure measurement technique is that the blood is temporarily not circulated by the pressure applied by the airbag, and then the pressure is slowly decompressed, and the pressure value of the first blood circulation of the blood, that is, the blood pressure value, is extracted.

The new technology developed by NEC has greatly reduced the degree of pressure. It relies on very weak airbag pressure, and from the change data of blood flow and the waveform data of blood vessel changes, it can calculate the blood flow change when 100% of blood is applied. Thereby the highest blood pressure value is obtained.

It is because of this low-pressure force that the blood vessels do not have much pressure during measurement, which is convenient for measurement during sleep; and the small integrated design can carry measurements with you 24 hours a day.
