Abstract


Hypertension is the major root cause of blood pressure (BP) which in turn causes different cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Hence BP need to be regularly monitored for preventing CVDs since it can be diagnosed and controlled through constant observation. Photoplethysmography (PPG) is identified as an important low-cost technology for facilitating a convenient and effective process in the early detection of CVDs. Different cardiovascular parameters such as blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure, etc can be determined using the PPG technology. These cardiovascular parameters when given as input to the deep learning model is determined to diagnosis CVDs with maximized accuracy to an expected level. In this paper, Hybrid ResNet and Bidirectional LSTM-based Deep Learning Model (HRBLDLM) is proposed for diagnosing CVDs from PPG signals with due help in supporting the physicians during the process of continuous monitoring. This deep learning model mainly concentrated on the diagnosis of stage 1 hypertension, stage 2 hypertension, prehypertension, and normal CVDs with maximized accuracy using PPG signals. The PPG signals determined from PPG-BP dataset for investigation were recorded using IoT-based wearable patient monitoring (WPM) devices during the physical activity that includes high intensity, medium and low intensity movements involved driving, sitting and walking. The experiments conducted for this proposed deep learning model using PPG-BP dataset confirmed a better classification accuracy of 99.62% on par with the baseline PPG-based deep learning models contributed for detecting CVDs.
