Non-Contact Simultaneous Photoplethysmogram and Ballistocardiogram Video Recording towards Real-Time Blood Pressure and Abnormal Heart Rhythm Monitoring

We present a video-based method to monitor blood pressure by analyzing pulse transit time (PTT). The PTT is determined from ballistocardiogram (BCG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG), which are recorded simultaneously using a single camera. The measured blood pressure changes are compared with those measured with a cuff-based reference blood pressure monitor. In addition to blood pressure, premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is also observed from...
