Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the accuracy of measuring beat-by-beat diastolic blood pressure from a non-invasive, cuffless and non-obtrusive watch-like optical device worn at the wrist.


Clinical Trial Description

Given the prevalence of hypertension in society and the current limitations associated with oscillometric cuffs, the need for a continuous cuffless alternative for blood pressure home monitoring at a global scale is paramount. Such a device would not only improve the global control of blood pressure, but more generally, it could have a larger social impact by improving the comfort and reducing the stress for the clinical management of hypertensive patients. In the present study the investigators seek to investigate, as a primary purpose, to evaluate the accuracy of non-invasive blood pressure measurements via a watch-like optical sensor and compare these to standard monitoring (arterial line). ;
