An Intelligent Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring System Based on a Novel Polyvinylidene Fluoride Piezoelectric Thin Film

Abstract

Hypertension is a common cause of cardiovascular diseases, closely associated with the high mortality and disability rates of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and coronary heart disease. Therefore, developing a comfortable and sustainable device for monitoring human pulse signals holds practical significance for the prevention and treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. PVDF flexible pressure sensors possess the characteristics of high sensitivity, good flexibility, and strong biocompatibility, thereby demonstrating extensive application potential in areas such as health monitoring, wearable devices, and electronic skins. This paper focuses on the development of a modified piezoelectric polymer and its application in an intelligent blood pressure monitoring system, demonstrating its outstanding performance and feasibility through a series of experiments. This research provides innovative material choices for the development of intelligent medical devices and offers beneficial guidance for the design and application of future intelligent health monitoring systems.
