  • Abstract
    Early detection of hypertension generally requires continuous monitoring of blood pressure levels which is not facilitated by traditional methods such as the cuff, which cannot be used in the normal environment for continuous monitoring due to the regular pressurization of certain body parts. Thus there is a need for non-invasive continuous pressure monitoring mechanism. In this paper we present a relationship between Pulse Transit Time (PTT) and Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) for continuous pressure monitoring and its experimental validation.
