Abstract

This article addresses the procedure for estimating blood pressure, based on features extracted from PPG signals, using artificial neural networks. Multiple models have been made so as to find the best combination of characteristics, of the PPG signal, that correlate to blood pressure the most. The results from all models are then directly compared.
