Design and HDL Implementation of Pulse-Arrival-Time Estimation Using XGBoost Regression With Tree-Recycling Architecture
Abstract:
This paper presents a pulse-arrival-time (PAT) estimation scheme using Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) regression and its implementation with hardware description language (HDL). PAT is a significant metric for the estimation of pulse wave velocity (PWV) and blood pressure. We leverage morphological features of single photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveforms and subject-specific parameters to estimate PAT values through a decision tree ensemble regression model. XGBoost regression is adopted for PAT estimation through a comparative study conducted in software. To enable the integration of the regression model into a single chip, we propose a tree-recycling architecture for an area-efficient implementation of the decision tree ensemble model. The proposed PAT estimation has been implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA, Artix7, Xilinx) for real-time verification using a dataset. Additionally, the active area of the proposed scheme in an integrated circuit was estimated after the place-and-route (PnR) procedure, resulting in an area of 1.44 mm2 . We utilized the Vital Signs DataBase (VitalDB) for training and testing the proposed PAT estimation in a software-hardware co-design framework. Validation on 80 subjects yielded a determination coefficient (R2 ) of 0.983 in the linear regression analysis after implementing the HDL on an FPGA.
