Abstract Background Remote hypertension management programs have emerged as potential solutions to improve poor rates of blood pressure (BP) control. The Continual Versus Occasional Blood Pressure (COOL-BP) Study investigated the feasibility and efficacy using a cuffless wrist BP monitor in remote (HTN) program. Methods COOL-BP was prospective single-arm study within larger HTN program at Mass General Brigham (MGB). Participants had uncontrolled HTN, were already engaged MGB Hypertension...

Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, capturing optical signals from arterial pulses, are debated for their potential in blood pressure (BP) measurement. This study employed the largest dataset to date of paired PPG and cuff BP readings explore estimation. 32,152 European residents (age 55.9% ± 11.8, 24% female, BMI 27.7 4.6) voluntarily acquired used a cuffless monitor (Aktiia SA, Switzerland) between March/2,021-March/2023. Systolic diastolic (SBP, DBP) an upper arm oscillometric were...

Background: Accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement is essential for the correct diagnosis and management of hypertension (HTN) especially in elderly population. As with all BP devices, accuracy cuffless devices must be verified. This study (NCT04027777) aimed to evaluate performance a wrist optical device an population cohort different body positions auscultation as reference measurement.

Objective: Previous studies have highlighted the prognostic importance of night-time blood pressure (BP) dipping, associating non-dipping BP patterns with cardiovascular risk. Standard 24-h ambulatory monitors (ABPM) often show inconsistent reproducibility in nocturnal dipping. Cuffless present a promising approach for continual measurement BP, yet their effectiveness is to be assessed. This study compares dipping as recorded by cuffless monitor readings from conventional ABPM. Design and...

Objective: Cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitors have the potential to improve hypertension management and facilitate remote BP monitoring. The success long-term adoption of these devices will significantly depend on patient preferences their perceptions using such technology. In present work, we report patients’ regarding a continuous cuffless monitor cuff-based ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) during 12-week cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. Design method: 63 subjects (NCT04548986, mean age...

Objective: Cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitors provide an innovative approach for BP assessment, transcending the episodic nature of traditional cuff-based, oscillometric modalities like ambulatory (ABPM). However, performance these cuffless devices compared to their cuff-based counterparts remains debated. In this study, readings from a continuous monitor were against those standard 24-hour ABPM. Design and method: The study enrolled 63 subjects (NCT04548986, 53.1±7.2 years, 21.2% female,...
