#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Contactless Blood Pressure Estimation via mmWave Heart Rate Variability Reads real-time heart rate from a Seeed MR60BHA2 (60 GHz mmWave) sensor and estimates blood pressure trends using the Pulse Transit Time (PTT) correlation method. Theory: Blood pressure correlates inversely with Pulse Transit Time — the time for a pulse wave to travel from the heart to the periphery. While we can't measure PTT directly with a single sensor, heart rate variability (HRV) features — specifically the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency power (LF/HF ratio) — correlate with sympathetic nervous system activity, which drives blood pressure changes. The model uses: 1. Mean HR over a window → baseline systolic/diastolic estimate 2. HR variability (SDNN) → adjustment for sympathetic tone 3. LF/HF ratio from HR intervals → fine adjustment Calibration: Provide a known BP reading to anchor the estimates. Without calibration, the system shows relative trends only. ⚠️ NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. For research and wellness tracking only. Accuracy is ±15-20 mmHg without calibration. With calibration and a stationary subject, ±8-12 mmHg is achievable for trending.
