Beginning: -Present the problem of hypertension in America as well as the need for critical care continuous monitoring of BP -Help patients track BP and reduce Dr’s office visits -Introduce traditional blood pressure measurement tools and describe their limitations -Describe the current capability of wearable tech -New AHA levels of hypertensions down to 130/90 -Lower threshold to start patient’s concern over their BP early before it progresses, leading to heart disease.
Middle:
-Describe biometric sensors and their mechanisms for recording data PPG, EKG, Accelerometer -Introduce pulse transit time as a solution for continuous BP measurement -biophysics principles of PTT -Describe signal pairs that can be used as proximal and distal timing references -Sensor location and comfort -Finapres is an existing tech for continuous bp measurement ------Expensive, large and cumbersome -introduce the phone sensor method
End: -clarify that this is a synthesis of existing research -not at the device development stage yet
-Conclude literature review with describing the need for testing biometric sensor pair pulse transit time signal processing -Segue into methodology and proposed -Potential applications for this technology -Clinical settings -Wearable tech -Telemedicine -Patient security over the internet, hacking -Fitbit style blood pressure measurement tools
Logos -data on high blood pressure prevalence -data on pulse transit time -methods by which ptt can be recorded -how the sensors we're using work
Ethos -Credibility of researcher in the field and the quality of their data
Structure -I will structure this as a literature review with each topic getting its own section
Goal Introduce the premise of my project as well as the societal benefits of the applications of the researched technology
