Abstract
The clinical demand for technologies to monitor blood pressure (BP) in ambulatory scenarios with minimal use of inflation cuffs is strong: new generations of BP monitors are expected to be not only accurate, but also non-occlusive. During the past few years, CSEM has been extensively working on the development of a novel technology to estimate BP based on the so-called pulse wave velocity principle. Associated to a dedicated CSEM patent portfolio, the new technology has the potential to provide a first ever portable BP monitoring solution relying on wearable sensors placed on the chest. This scientific report highlights the working principle and main results of the novel chest sensor.
