Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de mesure de la pression sanguine et un procédé de fonctionnement associé mettant en oeuvre un algorithme de mesure basé sur une pluralité de mesures, permettant de mettre en place une capacité unique destinée à accroître le succès diagnostique et analytique dans la détection. Dans une mise en oeuvre indicative, trois techniques de mesure de bruits sont utilisées de manière combinée, en vue d'améliorer la précision globale des mesures. Une de ces trois techniques est une technique auscultatoire. Une mesure de bruits, obtenue à partir d'un microphone situé dans la manchette de mesure, détecte les premiers et derniers bruits de Korotkoff, au moyen d'une combinaison de filtres. Cette technique est un procédé classique recommandé par l'American Heart Association et est semblable à des techniques manuelles utilisées par une infirmière ou un technicien. Les personnes ayant des compétences de base dans le domaine connaissent très bien la technique auscultatoire et les techniques de filtrage associées. Une seconde technique est une technique oscillométrique communément mise en oeuvre dans les dispositifs de mesure de pression sanguine bon marché. Une manchette à pression est utilisée en vue de mesurer les oscillations de pression qui sont détectées et surveillées par une pression moyenne et des rapports de pressions systolique et diastolique, en vue d'identifier des pressions sanguines systolique et diastolique. Une troisième technique, appelée technique de reconnaissance des formes, mesure une enveloppe de bruits et incorpore une reconnaissance des formes en vue d'identifier des pressions systolique et diastolique. Un signal provenant d'un capteur de pression est utilisé avec ces trois techniques aux fins de quantifier les régions de bruits soumises à l'analyse.
