Title:

An affordable, accurate and noninvasive volume clamp based blood pressure waveform measuring device.

Area:

Medical Sciences

Focus Area:

Elderly care, Digital Health

Status:

Proof of Concept

Social Benefits:

The current practice of BP measurement is inadequate in painting the complete picture of Cardiovascular health using BP. We are only focusing on 2 values of the Blood pressure while we can use the entire waveform to better understand the patients health. Existing NIBP devices are expensive and require training and maintenance to operate them. The bulky size of these devices further restrict the mobility and mass adoption.

Brief Description

Description :

It is based on a proven principle given by Penaz in 1973 that uses a volume clamp method. It is a finger cuff based BP waveform measurement device that provides accurate BP waveform based on the gold standard on invasive BP hemodynamic monitoring systems.
