Deep learning-based robust automatic non-invasive measurement of blood pressure using Korotkoff sounds

Abstract This paper proposes a method that automatically measures non-invasive blood pressure (BP) based on an auscultatory approach using Korotkoff sounds (K-sounds). There have been methods utilizing K-sounds that were more accurate in general than those using cuff pressure signals only under well...
