Abstract
A method for monitoring the blood pressure of a patient, comprising the following steps: determining a pulse arrival time signal from the patientbased on the pulse wave velocity method; determining an accelerometer signal from the patient; and triggering an additional measure or deriving a blood pressure value, taking into account the pulse arrival time signal and a DC component of the accelerometer signal. In this way, a possibility for monitoring the blood pressure of a patient is provided with which false alarms and/or unnecessary additional cuff-based blood pressure measurements can be avoided.
