Pulse Wave Blood Pressure Measurement Based on BiLRCN and Attention Mechanism
To improve the accuracy of noninvasive blood pressure measurement,a pulse wave blood pressure measurement method based on bidirectional long-term recurrent convolutional network(BiLRCN)and attention mechanism is proposed.The high-dimensional features of the photovolumetric pulse signal are extracted by two convolutional neural network(CNN),which is used as the input of bidirectional long short-term memory(BiL-STM)network,and the feature information in the forward and backward directions of the input sequence is ex-tracted by BiLRCN for prediction.The attention mechanism is used to automatically assign the weighted fea-tures,which gives a larger weight to the important moments of the pulse feature data,and the two fully connect-ed layers are used to obtain the blood pressure measurement value.The proposed method is compared with CNN,long short-term memory(LSTM)network,BiLSTM network,and long term recurrent convolutional neural network(LRCN)methods in terms of convergence speed and blood pressure measurement.The experimental re-sults show that the proposed method decreases the mean square error by 21.63%,decreases the mean absolute error by 67.5%,and improves the coefficient of deterministic correlation by 0.42%compared to LRCN.The proposed method has faster convergence and higher accuracy of blood pressure measurement.
