Abstract

Self-measurement of blood pressure requires the patient to follow a range of best practice recommendations in order to be considered valid for diagnostic use. We evaluate the feasibility of using a sensor-equipped chair to classify patient position during blood pressure measurement. Results indicate that this is feasible with over 89 % confirmed classification results.
