Predicting systolic blood pressure using machine learning

In this paper, a new study based on machine learning technique, specifically artificial neural network, is investigated to predict the systolic blood pressure by correlated variables (BMI, age, exercise, alcohol, smoke level etc.). The raw data are split into two parts, 80% for training the machine and the remaining 20% for testing the performance. Two neural network algorithms, back-propagation neural network and radial basis function network, are used to construct and validate the prediction system. Based on a database with 498 people, the probabilities of the absolute difference between the measured and predicted value of systolic blood pressure under 10mm Hg are 51.9% for men and 52.5% for women using the back-propagation neural network With the same input variables and network status, the corresponding results based on the radial basis function network are 51.8% and 49.9% for men and women respectively. This novel method of predicting systolic blood pressure contributes to giving early warnings to young and middle-aged people who may not take regular blood pressure measurements. Also, as it is known an isolated blood pressure measurement is sometimes not very accurate due to the daily fluctuation, our predictor can provide another reference value to the medical staff. Our experimental result shows that artificial neural networks are suitable for modeling and predicting systolic blood pressure. © 2014 IEEE.published_or_final_versio

Bio-medical application on predicting systolic blood pressure using neural networks

This paper presents a new study based on artificial neural network, which is a typical technique for processing big data, for the prediction of systolic blood pressure by correlated factors (gender, serum cholesterol, fasting blood sugar and electrocardiography signal). Two neural network algorithms, back-propagation neural network and radial basis function network, are used to construct and validate the bio-medical prediction system. The database of raw data is divided into two parts: 80% for training the neural network and the remaining 20% for testing the performance. The experimental result shows that artificial neural networks are suitable for modeling and predicting systolic blood pressure. This novel method of predicting systolic blood pressure contributes to giving early warnings to adults who may not take regular blood pressure measurements. Also, as it is known that an isolated blood pressure measurement is sometimes not very accurate due to the daily fluctuation, our predictor can provide another reference value to the medical staff.published_or_final_versio

A Prediction Model of Blood Pressure for Telemedicine

This paper presents a new study based on a machine learning technique, specifically an artificial neural network, for predicting systolic blood pressure through the correlation of variables (age, BMI, exercise level, alcohol consumption level, smoking status, stress level, and salt intake level). The study was carried out using a database containing a variety of variables/factors. Each database of raw data was split into two parts: one part for training the neural network and the remaining part for testing the performance of the network. Two neural network algorithms, back-propagation and radial basis function, were used to construct and validate the prediction system. According to the experiment, the accuracy of our predictions of systolic blood pressure values exceeded 90%. Our experimental results show that artificial neural networks are suitable for modeling and predicting systolic blood pressure. This new method of predicting systolic blood pressure helps to give an early warning to adults, who may not get regular blood pressure measurements that their blood pressure might be at an unhealthy level. Also, because an isolated measurement of blood pressure is not always very accurate due to daily fluctuations, our predictor can provide the predicted value as another figure for medical staff to refer to.postprin
