Unobtrusive Detection of Simulated Orthostatic Hypotension and Supine Hypertension Using Ballistocardiogram and Electrocardiogram of Healthy Adults
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Effective management of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension (SH-OH) due autonomic failure requires a frequent and timely adjustment of medication throughout the day to maintain the blood pressure (BP) within the normal range, i.e., an accurate depiction of BP is a key prerequisite of effective management. One of the emerging technologies that provide one's circadian and long-term physiological status with increased usability is unobtrusive zero-effort monitoring. In this paper, a zero-effort device, a floor tile, was used to develop an unobtrusive BP monitoring technique. Namely, RJ-interval, the time between the J-peak of a ballistocardiogram and the R-peak of an electrocardiogram, was used to develop a classifier that can detect changes in systolic BP (SBP) induced by the Valsalva maneuver on healthy adults (i.e., a simulated SH-OH). A t-test was used to show statistical differences between the mean RJ-intervals of decreased SBP, baseline, and increased SBP. Following the t-test, a classifier that detected a change in SBP was developed based on a naïve Bayes classifier (NBC). The t-test showed a clear statistical difference between the mean RJ-intervals of the increased SBP, baseline, and decreased SBP. The NBC-based classifier was able to detect increased SBP with 89.3% true positive rate (TPR), 100% true negative rate (TNR), and 94% accuracy and detect decreased SBP with 92.3% TPR, 100% TNR, and 95% accuracy. The analysis showed strong potential in using the developed classifier to assist monitoring of people with SH-OH; the algorithm may be used clinically to detect a long-term trend of symptoms of SH-OH.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
