In the process of model construction, the mean impact value method was introduced to investigate the impact of each feature on the models and the genetic algorithm was introduced to implement parameter optimization. The experimental results showed that the proposed models could effectively describe the nonlinear relationship between the features and BP and had higher accuracy than the traditional methods with the error of 3.27 \u00b1 5.52 mmHg for systolic BP and 1.16 \u00b1 1.97 mmHg for diastolic BP. Moreover, the estimation errors met the requirements of the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation and British Hypertension Society criteria. In conclusion, this study was helpful in promoting the practical application of methods for non-invasive continuous BP estimation models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19112585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,7]],"date-time":"2019-06-07T03:56:31Z","timestamp":1559879791000},"page":"2585","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":91,"title":["A Non-Invasive Continuous Blood Pressure Estimation Approach Based on Machine Learning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Shuo","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Bioengineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhong","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Bioengineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"},{"name":"Chongqing Medical Electronics Engineering Technology Center, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiyan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Bioengineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingchao","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Bioengineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2018).
