Problem
1 in 4 men
1 in 5 women
More than 1 billion people around the world have hypertension or raised Blood Pressure – and less than 1/5 have it under control.
Complications from untreated hypertension is cause of death #1 in the world.
Solution
Our blood pressure monitor should be worn comfortably in a chest strap and measure blood pressure continuously down to each heartbeat.
This is done by electrical (ECG) and optical (PPG) measurements on the chest combined with a model that can calculate blood pressure accurately based on the measurements. This is a radical innovation compared to today’s cuff-based monitors for 24-hour monitoring with the following innovative features:
- The measurement method does not affect the measurement results
- Measurements can be made continuously
- Measurements can be performed during normal movement
