Abstract :
Measuring blood pressure continuously helps monitor health and also prevent lifestyle related diseases to extend the expectancy
of healthy life. Blood pressure, which is nowadays used for monitoring patient, is one of the most useful indexes for prevention
of lifestyle related diseases such as hypertension. However, continuously monitoring the blood pressure is unrealistic because of
discomfort caused by the tightening of a cuff belt. We have earlier researched the data-oriented blood pressure estimation without
using a cuff. Remarkably, our blood pressure estimation method only uses a photoplethysmograph sensor.Therefore, the application
is flexible for sensor locations and measuring situations. In this paper, we describe the implementation of our estimation method, the
launch of a cloud system which can collect and manage blood pressure data measured by a wristwatch-type photoplethysmograph
sensor, and the construction of our applications to visualize life-log data including the time-series data of blood pressure.
