Tiny sensor could track blood pressure continuously without inflatable cuff
The Brief
- A tiny sensor under development could measure blood pressure continuously without an inflatable cuff, according to Medical Xpress.
- The device was developed by professors Amir Rosenthal and Daniel Lange of the Technion's Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
- The source describes the sensor as a possible future device, so it is not yet a product available to patients.
Why it matters
Continuous, cuff-free blood pressure monitoring would give clinicians and researchers far more data over time than occasional cuff readings, if the approach proves accurate and comfortable.
Who’s affected
- clinicians and researchers in cardiovascular medicine
- people who monitor their blood pressure
