Researchers have developed a new Transformer-based model called DMT for estimating blood pressure from photoplethysmography (PPG) signals without a cuff. The model incorporates demographic information through feature modulation and uses an auxiliary morphology head to focus on relevant waveform features. Evaluated on the PulseDB dataset, DMT achieved mean absolute errors of 4.56 mmHg for systolic and 2.62 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure, significantly outperforming previous demographic-enhanced baselines.
