Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus includes a processor, a first measurement component, and a second measurement component. The processor is configured to control the first measurement component to collect N sets of blood pressure values of the user, and control the second measurement component to collect N sets of PPG signals corresponding to the N sets of blood pressure values. The processor is further configured to generate a target model based on the N sets of blood pressure values and the N sets of PPG signals, control the second measurement component to collect a first PPG signal of the user, and determine a first blood pressure value based on the target model and the first PPG signal.
