OBJECTIVE: This study focuses on a non-invasive blood pressure prediction method based on radial artery pulse wave feature analysis, aiming to achieve rapid and accurate blood pressure measurement, help doctors diagnose diseases more accurately, promote the development of digital pulse diagnosis, and provide a new approach for blood pressure monitoring in wearable devices. APPROACH: By extracting 25 multidimensional features (including time-domain, frequency-domain, and nonlinear features) of the radial artery pulse wave, and after feature correlation analysis and importance assessment, weights were assigned to establish a blood pressure prediction model based on the random forest algorithm. MAIN RESULTS: Experimental results show that the mean absolute errors of systolic and diastolic blood pressure prediction are 3.39 mmHg and 2.06 mmHg, respectively, with standard deviations of 4.76 mmHg and 2.78 mmHg, respectively, both meeting the commonly referenced AAMI performance criteria (M AE ≤ 5mmHg and ST D ≤ 8mmHg), which are widely used as benchmarking thresholds in cuffless blood pressure estimation studies. SIGNIFICANCE: Compared with current mainstream methods, such as Photoplethysmography (PPG) combined with Electrocardiogram (ECG) prediction and pulse wave velocity (PWV) estimation, this model demonstrates higher prediction accuracy and convenience advantages in wearable device applications.

Li et al. (2026) studied Blood pressure measurement. Blood pressure prediction model based on radial artery pulse wave features and random forest algorithm vs. Photoplethysmography (PPG) combined with Electrocardiogram (ECG) prediction and pulse wave velocity (PWV) estimation was evaluated on Mean absolute errors of systolic and diastolic blood pressure prediction. A non-invasive blood pressure prediction model using radial artery pulse wave features achieved mean absolute errors of 3.39 mmHg (systolic) and 2.06 mmHg (diastolic), meeting AAMI criteria.
