“…Open-source codes for BP-related studies are another requirement. Schwenck et al recently released a versatile open-source BP analysis and visualization toolkit in R [ 181 ]. Beyond visualization tools, rigorous statistical frameworks and models are required for building machine learning pipelines.…”

Regular blood pressure (BP) monitoring in clinical and ambulatory settings plays a crucial role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the widespread adoption of ambulatory BP measurement devices has been predominantly driven by the increased prevalence of hypertension and its associated risks and clinical conditions. Recent guidelines advocate for regular BP monitoring as part of regular clinical visits or even at home. This increased utilization of BP measurement technologies has raised significant concerns regarding the accuracy of reported BP values across settings. In this survey, which focuses mainly on cuff-based BP monitoring technologies, we highlight how BP measurements can demonstrate substantial biases and variances due to factors such as measurement and device errors, demographics, and body habitus. With these inherent biases, the development of a new generation of cuff-based BP devices that use artificial intelligence (AI) has significant potential. We present future avenues where AI-assisted technologies can leverage the extensive clinical literature on BP-related studies together with the large collections of BP records available in electronic health records. These resources can be combined with machine learning approaches, including deep learning and Bayesian inference, to remove BP measurement biases and provide individualized BP-related cardiovascular risk indexes.
