An Autoencoder-LSTM deep learning model can accurately estimate continuous systolic and diastolic blood pressure from photoplethysmography signals with low mean average error.
May support cuffless BP monitoring research; leaves open clinical adoption pending prospective validation.
Monitoring continuous Blood Pressure (BP) signals is essential as BP can vary rapidly. However, current Photoplethysmography (PPG)-based methods for estimating BP need to be more accurate and provide predictions for Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP). Full cycle of PPG waveform is considered to estimate SBP and DBP values. This study recommends deep learning techniques, including Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), TCN-LSTM, and Autoencoder-LSTM, to estimate SBP and DBP. According to the outcomes, the proposed framework estimates continuous BP precisely utilising PPG signals. Specifically, the Autoencoder-LSTM algorithm achieved a Mean Average Error (MAE) of 1.05 and 0.92 for SBP and DBP and a Standard Deviation (SD) of 1.89 and 1.05 for SBP and DBP, respectively, indicating that the model is suitable for estimating these values from PPG signals. The Autoencoder-LSTM approach produced a Mean Average Error (MAE) of 1.05 and 0.92 for SBP and DBP, respectively, as well as a Standard Deviation (SD) of 1.89 and 1.05, demonstrating that the model can estimate these values using PPG signals. This paper evaluates an algorithm that estimates BP continuously using the PPG signal. Autoencoder-LSTM is suitable for estimating continuous BP values since MAE and SD values are low for SBP and DBP.

Vanithamani et al. (2025) studied Blood pressure estimation. Autoencoder-LSTM algorithm using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals was evaluated on Mean Average Error (MAE) for Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) (MAE 1.05 for SBP and 0.92 for DBP). An Autoencoder-LSTM algorithm accurately estimated continuous blood pressure from photoplethysmography signals, achieving a Mean Average Error of 1.05 for systolic and 0.92 for diastolic blood pressure.
