      A mock circulatory loop was constructed to test a new blood pressure device under development. The loop was intended to replicate a range of cardiac conditions with the implementation of an artificial arterial tree. An ...
    • Development of an Upper Arm Phantom for BP Measurement 

      Kulkarni, Mayuresh (Auckland University of Technology, 2021)
      Cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, is one of the most commonly occurring afflictions throughout the world. Blood pressure (BP) measurement is critical in the diagnostic analysis of cardiovascular health. The ...
    • Development of textile sensors to measure anthropometric and pressure information on children's feet 

      De Guzman, Sarah (Auckland University of Technology, 2019)
      Bobux is a manufacturer of children’s shoes and approached Auckland University of Technology (AUT) to help solve the pain points that their customers and clinicians have through implement new technology within their products. ...
    • Effect of Vibration Imposition on Aortic Muscle Tissue : An Explorative Study 

      Ajgaonkar, Subodh Datta (Auckland University of Technology, 2017)
      Aorta, the main artery of the human body has a pipe like structure and is tasked with carrying and distributing the oxygenated blood to the various parts of the human body. Development of small kink or obstruction, clinically ...
    • Elimination of Skin-stretch Induced Motion Artefacts From Electrocardiogram Signals 

      Kalra, Anubha (Auckland University of Technology, 2017)
      Electrocardiography (ECG) is widely used in clinical practice, for example to diagnose coronary artery disease or the cause of chest pain during a stress test, while the patient is running on a treadmill. Ambulatory ECG ...
    • Estimating the Normal and Reference aortic Pulse Wave Velocity for the New Zealand Population: Improving Stroke and Cardiovascular Risk Prediction 

      Dahiya, Ekta Singh (Auckland University of Technology, 2020)
      Arterial stiffness is expressed as the reduced capability of physiological expansion and contraction of arteries during changes in blood pressure (BP). It is measured as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) and is ...
    • Feasibility Study of a Novel Electrospinning System with Uniform & Non-uniform Electric Fields 

      Al-Hilali, Yasir (Auckland University of Technology, 2019)
      Nanofibres are fibres that are 1000 times thinner than a human hair, they are a versatile form of material made from various polymers. They inherit the properties of the base material while also yielding the properties ...
    • An investigation into ambulatory blood pressure measurement 

      Hai, Lan (Auckland University of Technology, 2012)
      Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases threatening people's health worldwide. Although, hypertension itself is rarely an acute problem, it increases the risk of cardiovascular events and kidney ...
    • An investigation into the acoustic response of the arteries 

      El-Aklouk, Essa (Auckland University of Technology, 2007)
      In hypertension, aging and certain types of arterial disease, central elastic arteries become stiffer and hence the central pulse pressure is augmented due to the increase in pulse wave velocity (PWV) and the early return ...
    • Leak Detection for Waterproof Enclosures using Schlieren Optics 

      Mackenzie, Antony (Auckland University of Technology, 2018)
      In the search for a method of detecting leak location without danger of damaging the product tested or harming the user, Navico approached Auckland University of Technology (AUT) with the proposition of developing a visual ...
    • Multi-frequency Bioimpedance Variations in a Simulated Human Forearm 

      Anand, Gautam (Auckland University of Technology, 2017)
      Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a popular technique used in the monitoring of various physiological parameters like arterial oscillation, blood volume flow rate and cardiac output. BIA is based on measuring the impedance ...
    • Non-invasive blood pressure measurement algorithm for all age groups 

      Ma, Xiaoqi (Auckland University of Technology, 2012)
      The oscillometric method is the most common technique used in commercial non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. In this technique, devices record the pressure oscillations in the cuff as the cuff pressure decreases from ...
    • A Novel Approach for Cuff-less and Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring Using Deep Learning Networks 

      Rastegar Moghaddam Mansouri, Solmaz (Auckland University of Technology, 2021)
      Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most important and meaningful vital signs of the human body that can be assessed as a critical risk factor for severe health conditions, especially cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and ...
    • Quality-focused Design of Medical IoT Quality Management Systems 

      Han, Shihui (Auckland University of Technology, 2021)
      Risk management of medical equipment before it is put into service is essential to reduce the risk of medical devices failing. Manufacturers of medical devices are required to minimize the risks associated with the use of ...
