A practical checklist for completing the BP-Card. Modules are filled top to bottom; Module 3 is reported separately for each calibration pathway.
- Model name and version
- Estimation family (hemodynamics-derived / data-driven BP regression / ABP waveform reconstruction)
- Calibration paradigm (calibration-free / calibration-based)
- Model type (ML / DL / hybrid / other)
- Input data type (handcrafted features / time series / images / demographic / other)
- Output variable (SBP / DBP / MAP)
- Signal modality (PPG / ECG / BCG / BioZ / IPG / iPPG / other)
- Sensor specification and location
- Intended use (research / home or ambulatory / adjunctive clinical / clinical pilot)
- Data source (public / private), cohort size, recording sessions, total paired samples
- Population type (healthy / hypertensive / ICU / other)
- Demographics (age, sex, BMI, height, weight, ethnicity / region)
- Medical history / comorbidities
- Medication (class / dose / regimen)
- Known sensitivities (motion / low perfusion / arrhythmia / sensor displacement / skin tone)
- Skin tone / Fitzpatrick and ambient light (PPG-based)
- Measurement phases (%) and BP profile distributions (%)
- SBP / DBP (mean ± SD, range)
- Baseline SBP / DBP (mean ± SD, range)
- ΔSBP / ΔDBP (mean ± SD; subject-specific or population-based)
- Preprocessing pipeline
- Signal quality filtering / exclusion criteria
- Fiducial points / feature extraction
- Excluded samples after cleaning
- BP distribution reported before and after cleaning
- Evaluation method (subject-wise hold-out / subject-wise CV / LOSO / LOOCV / record-wise / sample-wise) — subject-wise is the minimum standard
- Data split details
- Unseen-subject test set (yes / no)
- External validation, independent cohort / site (yes / no)
- Reference standard and reference device (manufacturer / model)
- Measurement conditions (resting / ambulatory / dynamic / long-term / ICU)
- Body position, activity state, rest period prior to measurement
- Baseline comparator and comparator result
- Minimum acceptable standard met
- Pathway-specific analyses reported separately (Module 3A and/or 3B)
- Models evaluated (baseline model and proposed / final model)
- Standardized performance table, stratified by BP group (All / Normal / Prehypertension / Stage 1 / Stage 2)
- Metrics reported: ΔBP±SD, MD±SD, MAD, MAPD, CP5, CP10, CP15, R
- Correlation / regression scatter plot
- Bland–Altman plot (with normality check and 95% CIs on limits of agreement)
- Models evaluated (baseline model and proposed / final model)
- Calibration condition and calibration type (one-point / two-point / multi-point)
- Static test and dynamic test (yes / no)
- Time since calibration evaluated (and interval in days)
- Recalibration trigger (if any)
- Standardized performance table, stratified by condition (Static / Dynamic / Time after calibration)
- Metrics reported: ΔBP±SD, MD±SD, MAD, MAPD, CP5, CP10, CP15, R
- Correlation / regression scatter plot (BP change relative to calibration)
- Bland–Altman plot (with normality check and 95% CIs on limits of agreement)
