Abstract
In this study, we reports on a glasses-mounted blood pressure pulse wave measurement device based on the arterial tonometry method for continuous measurement in daily life. In order to apply the arterial tonometry method to the superficial temporal artery of the head, we fabricated a glasses-mounted device with a positioning mechanism by 3D printer. We measured the blood pressure pulse wave during walking by the fabricated device and the conventional device in the wrist for comparison. The variation in systolic blood pressure measured by the conventional device and the fabricated device were 17.4 mmHg and 3.2 mmHg. Since the influence on the measurement by the body motion was reduced by the fabricated device, the variation in systolic blood pressure was suppressed.
