Paper: Contactless Blood Pressure Estimation System Using a Computer Vision System

Just what we needed. A profoundly more expensive method.

The paper said they used a Nikon D5300, an entry level DSLR camera.

Perfect. I have blood pressure monitoring in my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. It needs to be calibrated.

I wish I had of waited for the forehead smartwatch edition intead, it seems more accurate.

Just get a longer/bigger band.

Spend a little extra for the flashlight accessory. You'll thank me later...

And how much does the AI cost?

Just what we needed. A "health" screening tool for every airport, crosswalk, and front door.

Equally significant remark.

Thanks. I’m not sure of all the details but an RMSE of 18 doesn’t seem so impressive.

My blood pressure cuff was $12.99 at walgreens

As a child, I dreamed of a future where we could get a blood pressure reading without the burden of using Velcro and finally, today, that future is here. And the only cost for the convenience is the drop in accuracy. And money. It costs a lot more than the Velcro way. But aside from those costs, no cost.

And how much is the time it takes for staff to measure it?
