Continuous Cuffless Monitoring of Arterial Blood Pressure via Graphene Bioimpedance Tattoos

Continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure (BP) in non-clinical
(ambulatory) settings is essential for a proper understanding of numerous
health conditions. While conventional ambulatory BP devices exist, they are
uncomfortable, bulky, and intrusive. In this work, we introduce a dataset of
BP measurement using atomically-thin graphene electronic tattoos (GETs) and
bioimpedance (Bio-Z) as measurement modality. The Bio-Z is measured from
radial and ulnar arteries on the wrist. Afterward, a machine learning
regression model is employed to relate the recorded bioimpedance to BP,
yielding an effective beat-to-beat BP monitoring platform. In this database,
we are sharing the raw time data for the 4-channel GET Bioimpedance signals
with BP and PPG signals. The GETs are used to monitor arterial blood pressure
from N=7 individuals for 300+ minutes each. A medical-grade BP monitoring
device, Finapres NOVA, was used to measure the subject's control BP during the
experiments. On average, each participant underwent 4±1 hours of continuous BP
monitoring. Altogether, we performed on average ~2500±600 BP measurements per
participant, which resulted in a total of 18667 datapoints.
