Solution

Our blood pressure monitor should be worn comfortably on the upper arm and measure blood pressure continuously down to each heartbeat.

This is performed using a model that calculate blood pressure mainly based on optical 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
