| Abstract | A new non-invasive, cuff-less, low-cost blood pressure (BP) sensor capable of continuous detection is optimized by this study for maximum performance. This blood pressure sensor module encapsulates specially-designed electrodes as a strain sensor to be attached to a flexible plate. In operations, the strain sensor is held stable with top surface contacting tightly with the human skin while the bottom surface under a low pressure exerted by a pressurizing wrist belt. The electrodes and plate are expected to vibrate in a synchronized fashion with artery pulsations as vibrations transmitted to the sensor through the module to vary the net (average) strain of electrodes, thus also varying its resistance. Employing a readout circuit of Wheatstone bridge, an amplifier, a filter, and a digital signal processor, the artery pulsations could be successfully converted to temporal voltage variations for calculating blood pressures via known algorithms. However, due to the small diameter of the artery, around 3 mm, mis-positioning (MP) of the sensor electrode area relative to the artery beneath is inevitable, which may lower sensor sensitivity due to smaller average strains. To remedy the problem, efforts are paid to conduct finite element modeling (FEM) and simulations on the electrodes, sensor module and the wrist including bone, tissue and other bio-structures to predict sensor output variations with respect to varied mis-positionings. Based on the predictions, the sensor optimal length is successfully found as 5 mm, which maximizes average strain, the sensitivity of the sensor. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
