“…Several test simulators have been developed for detection of systematic errors in automated BP monitors [151], [152]. These simulators are based on applying test signals from a comprehensive database of oscillometric signals and using a validation protocol to assess the accuracy of the BP monitor [153].…”

The use of automated blood pressure (BP) monitoring is growing as it does not require much expertise and can be performed by patients several times a day at home. Oscillometry is one of the most common measurement methods used in automated BP monitors. A review of the literature shows that a large variety of oscillometric algorithms have been developed for accurate estimation of BP but these algorithms are scattered in many different publications or patents. Moreover, considering that oscillometric devices dominate the home BP monitoring market, little effort has been made to survey the underlying algorithms that are used to estimate BP. In this review, a comprehensive survey of the existing oscillometric BP estimation algorithms is presented. The survey covers a broad spectrum of algorithms including the conventional maximum amplitude and derivative oscillometry as well as the recently proposed learning algorithms, model-based algorithms, and algorithms that are based on analysis of pulse morphology and pulse transit time. The aim is to classify the diverse underlying algorithms, describe each algorithm briefly, and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. This paper will also review the artifact removal techniques in oscillometry and the current standards for the automated BP monitors.

“…This is due, for example, to the BP oscillometric device's tendency to provide inaccurate measurements for certain patient groups and to be prone to noise and artifacts. Moreover, the difficulty in reproducibility of the adopted calibrating methods [52]- [54] allows monitors to pass validation tests when there are clinically significant differences in BP estimated values in some individuals [52].…”

<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-US">Biomedical measurement systems (BMS) have provided new solutions for healthcare monitoring and the diagnosis of various chronic diseases. With a growing demand for BMS in the field of medical applications, researchers are focusing on advancing these systems, including Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)-based BMS, with the aim of improving bioprocesses, healthcare systems and technologies for biomedical equipment. This paper presents an overview of recent activities towards the development of IoMT-based BMS for various healthcare applications. Different methods and approaches used in the development of these systems are presented and discussed, taking into account some metrological aspects related to the requirement for accuracy, reliability and calibration. The presented IoMT-based BMS are applied to healthcare applications concerning, in particular, heart, brain and blood sugar diseases as well as internal body sound and blood pressure measurements. Finally, the paper provides a discussion about the shortcomings and challenges that need to be addressed along with some possible directions for future research activities.</span></p>

“…As a consequence, BP monitors can pass the validation tests in the presence of clinically significant differences occurring in the BP estimated values in some individuals [9], [14]. The accuracy of NIBP measurement instruments based on oscillometric methods and their calibration continues to be an object of research interest, and different approaches have been proposed to solve these issues, for example by the application of artificial intelligence [14], [16], by focusing on the cuff related effects [17] or on the oscillometric blood pressure waveform [15], by analyzing the problems related to the NIPB instrument calibration [18]- [21]. The TC-25 SCOBPM, aware of the current BP measurement metrological problems and challenges, works to provide an objective reference for measuring systemic arterial BP in humans, in the form of definitions and descriptions of objective techniques and traceable calibration procedures that are independent of the specific devices, apparatus, instruments, or computing devices that may be used in BP measurements.…”

he Technical Committee on Biological and Medical Measurements (TC-25) aims at establishing, developing, promoting and supporting cooperation among researchers in the different fields of biological and medical measurements. Sensors for the measurement of clinical and/ or biological parameters, instrument and procedure characterization, instrument interoperability and interconnection, and data processing are some of the topics of interest to the TC-25. To those aims, the technical committee designs and realizes joint activities, like study groups aimed at standardization, such as the Subcommittee on Blood Pressure Measurement (SCOBPM); conferences or special sessions, such as the IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA); and several special sessions during the annual IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technical Conferences. TC-25 is also continuously engaged to maintain liaisons with other committees, groups, societies and organizations working on topics related to the TC scope. This paper presents the latest updates about the main activities of the TC-25. Some information about the TC-25 activities and targets is briefly presented, then the objectives and the efforts of the SCOBPM are summarized, and finally, the history and latest updates of our main conference, the MeMeA Symposium, are reported.
