Phoenix Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor Project
Sub-project: Data Analysis Methods

 

Project Description

The purpose of the DATA ANALYSIS project is to introduce methods used in Chronobiology to assess predictable rhythmic behavior in physiological variables, and to show how the information thus gained may be useful for screening, diagnosis, and treatment, notably with respect to cardiovascular health.


Project Deliverables

  • Algorithms for estimating rhythm characteristics, for detecting abnormal patterns associated with risk elevation, and for assessing responses to intervention
  • Program modules to accomplish the above-stated tasks
  • Examples of applications in the clinic and in basic science
  • Bibliographical information
