Abstract
The technology allowing the continuous non-invasive measurement of blood pressure is attracting multiple players in the medical industry. The demand is a consequence of the aging of the population which requires new devices to assess cardiovascular health status at home. Today blood pressure is measured by an inflation cuff placed either round the upper arm or the wrist. Patients complain that inflation cuffs are too occlusive and cumbersome, while clinicians allege cuff measurements to be intermittent. Based on CSEM proprietary technology for the ambulatory monitoring of physiological parameters, a chest sensor is presented capable of providing continuous measurements of blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
