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.

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).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Comparison of diastolic blood pressures (in mmHg) assessed via non-invasive vs. invasive blood pressure (arterial line) measurement	Statistical comparison of both measures of diastolic blood pressure	24 hours
Secondary	Descriptive assessment: time until normalization of measurement after re-calibration of diastolic blood pressure measurement using the non-invasive approach	To evaluate the influence of the re-calibration time interval (amount of time in-between two consecutive calibrations of the optical devices) on the accuracy of diastolic blood pressure assessment.	24 hours
Secondary	Descriptive analysis of comparison to measurements at the fingertip (non-invasive vs. fingertip diastolic blood pressure assessment)	To compare the accuracy when applied to photoplethysmographic signals measured at the wrist versus signals measured at the fingertip.	24 hours
