Blood pressure prediction method and electronic device using the same
A blood pressure prediction method and an electronic device using the same are provided. The method includes the following steps. A training data set is collected. A first blood pressure prediction model is established according to the training data set. Hemodialysis parameter data of a target patient is received, wherein the hemodialysis parameter data includes a first hemodialysis parameter at a previous time point and a second hemodialysis parameter at a current time point.

Suggesting behavioral adjustments based on physiological responses to stimuli on electronic devices
Introduced here are health management platforms able to monitor changes in the health state of a subject based on the context of digital activities performed by, or involving, the subject. Initially, a health management platform can identify a physiological response by examining physiological data associated with a subject. Then, the health management platform can identify a stimulus presented by an electronic device that provoked the physiological response by examining contextual data associated with the subject. The contextual data may be in the form of a screenshot of a computer program in use by the subject during the physiological response. In some embodiments, the health management platform prompts the subject to specify whether the physiological response is a positive physiological response that resulted in an upward shift in health or a negative physiological response that resulted in a downward shift in health.
