In this study, a target is to improve the accuracy of a blood pressure (BP) estimation system using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. A BP estimation algorithm using multiple regression analysis is proposed and a BP estimation using the neural network is studied. Experimental results have shown that estimation accuracy can be improved. Estimation error of systolic BP value using multiple regression analysis with the proposed algorithm was reduced by approximately 16.3%. Furthermore, estimation error was reduced by approximately 21.6% than conventional multiple regression analysis in case of a BP estimation by machine learning using the neural network. It has been found that estimation accuracy is improved and shows the possibility of BP estimation using the neural network.
