Abstract
This application provides a blood pressure measurement method for a wearable device and a wearable device, so as to improve measurement accuracy of a blood pressure value. The wearable device includes a pressure transducer (PT) and a photoplethysmography (PPG) module. The PT and the PPG module are deployed at a target position of the wearable device. The target position includes a position for contacting a wearer when the wearable device is in a worn state. The method includes: obtaining a pressure value collected by the PT; obtaining a PPG signal collected by the PPG module; and determining a blood pressure value of the wearer based on the pressure value and the PPG signal.
Claims14
A wearable device, comprising:
- a memory storing a computer program;
- a processor coupled to a memory;
- three pressure transducers (PTs);
- and
- a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, wherein the PPG sensor comprises three light emitting diodes (LEDs) and one photo diode (PD), the one PD is located at a central position of the PPG sensor, and the three LEDs and the three PTs are all arranged around the PD in a circular array;
- wherein the three PTs and the PPG sensor contact a wearer when the wearable device is in a worn state;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer program to cause the wearable device to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of pressure values collected by the three PTs;
- obtaining a plurality of PPG signals collected by the PPG sensor;
- and
- determining a blood pressure value of the wearer based on the plurality of pressure values and the plurality of PPG signals;
- wherein the plurality of pressure values are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of PPG signals, and a collection moment of each pressure value of the plurality of pressure values is same as that of a corresponding PPG signal of the plurality of PPG signals;
- and
- wherein the determining the blood pressure value of the wearer comprises:
- respectively extracting waveform features of the plurality of PPG signals;
- and
- determining, based on a first PPG signal whose waveform feature amplitude is less than or equal to a preset waveform feature amplitude, a pressure value corresponding to the first PPG signal as a systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the blood pressure value of the wearer.
