融合物理模型与神经网络,提升无袖带血压监测的准确性与可解释性。
A Hybrid Windkessel-Neural Approach for Improved Noninvasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
- 将风箱模型转化为微分方程形式,嵌入神经网络中。
- 在MIMIC-II数据集上实现更高鲁棒性的血压预测性能。
- 适合需要可解释性医疗算法的研究者与穿戴设备开发者。
随着可穿戴健康设备的发展,无袖带血压估计的重要性日益凸显。传统袖带技术因使用不便、侵入性强、需校准、体积大及无法长期监测而不适用于连续血压测量。现有无袖带方法多采用数据驱动的机器学习模型,虽精度高,但缺乏可解释性,生理合理性与临床适用性差。本文提出将风箱模型与机器学习结合,通过将风箱模型重构为可被神经网络使用的常微分方程系统,使模型既具备数据驱动优势,又满足物理规律约束。该方法提升了模型的可解释性、稳健性与生理一致性。实验基于UCI机器学习库提供的公开MIMIC-II数据库进行验证。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Owing to the recent advancements in wearable devices for health care, the importance of BP estimation without cuffs increases. Cuff technologies are inappropriate for continuous BP measurement due to their inconvenient usage, invasive character, necessity of calibration, large size, and inability to perform long-term monitoring. Normally, the algorithm used for cuffless BP prediction employs machine learning models that operate according to the data-driven approach. However, although they show high numerical accuracy, ML models do not provide any interpretability, resulting in poor physiological validity and clinical applicability. We propose a combination of Windkessel and ML models that incorporates the physical aspects into the latter one. It is performed by reformulating Windkessel into a form that will allow employing ML models. The result is a system of ODEs which can be used in the neural network. Thus, the inclusion of physical constraints improves the data-driven approach by making models consistent with physics, understandable, and robust. For illustration, we apply the described technique using a publicly available MIMIC-II database that we obtain from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
