Assessment of algorithms for oscillometric blood pressure measurement

Three different algorithms for finding blood pressure through the oscillometric method were researched and assessed. It is shown that these algorithms are based on two different underlying approaches. The estimated values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure are compared against the nurse readings. The best two approaches turned out to be the linear approximation algorithm and the points of rapidly increasing/decreasing slope algorithm. Future work on combining these two algorithms using algorithm fusion is envisaged.
