6. 내용요약 :
In this presentation, we propose and demonstrate a novel system-identification-based
method for heart health monitoring problem, one of the key problems in the biomedical
engineering area. We view the cardiovascular system as a class of dynamic wave propagation
system and present a method to identify its dynamics and reconstruct the blood pressure
and flow signals near the heart by processing circulatory signals measured at extremity
locations of the body, e.g. arm, leg, finger and so on. As a technical basis for the proposed
method, we provide a condition under which this class of systems is identifiable. We also
show that this condition can be achieved by appropriate system design. The reconstructed
signals may replace the direct invasive measurements currently widespread in clinical
practice.  The heart disease (i.e. the cardiovascular disease) is one of the most prevalent
diseases in the world. In US, for instance, approximately 1/3 of all the adult population is
suffering from heart-related diseases such as hypertention, coronary heart disease and stroke,
and it has been #1 single cause of death in the 20th century. Therefore, there are a plenty of
opportunities to help out this population by developing heart health monitoring methods
and devices (or more generally, central cardiovascular health monitoring).
