AI Enabled Telemonitoring Platform for Automated Diagnosis and Management of Blood Pressure
FY 2019-20 · 2019-12-01
Summary
High blood pressure is the leading cause of death/disability in the world. Many patients are undiagnosed and/or uncontrolled. The best way to monitor high BP is to do many readings in the ‘home’ (or individual’s usual) environment. However, barriers exist to the proper use of home BP monitoring.
We have built a BP telemonitoring system that addresses many of these barriers. It collects BP readings and summarizes them in a guideline-concordant manner. The purpose of the present application is to build on this foundation and use the data collected to create an autonomously functioning computerized system that diagnoses and manages BP. The system is ideal for areas of low specialist access such as rural communities or space missions.

Description (French)
L'hypertension artérielle est la principale cause de décès ou d'invalidité dans le monde. De nombreux patients ne sont pas diagnostiqués ou ne sont pas bien contrôlés. La meilleure façon de surveiller une tension artérielle élevée est d'effectuer de nombreuses lectures dans l'environnement « familial » (ou dans l'environnement habituel de de la personne). Toutefois, il existe des obstacles à l'utilisation appropriée de la surveillance de la tension artérielle à domicile. Nous avons mis au point un système de télésurveillance de TA qui élimine bon nombre de ces obstacles. Il recueille les lectures de tension artérielle et les résume d'une manière conforme aux lignes directrices. L'objectif de la présente application est de s'appuyer sur cette base et d'utiliser les données recueillies pour créer un système informatisé fonctionnant de manière autonome qui diagnostique et gère la TA. Le système est idéal pour L'objectif de la présente application est de s'appuyer sur cette base et d'utiliser les données recueillies pour créer un système informatisé fonctionnant de manière autonome qui diagnostique et gère la TA. Le système est idéal pour les régions peu accessibles aux spécialistes, comme les communautés rurales ou les missions spatiales.
