Key result
Most automated noninvasive BP devices meet validation criteria despite ongoing reporting gaps.
Why the study?
To identify and summarize global literature on the validation of automated noninvasive blood pressure measurement devices with upper arm cuffs, build a repository of validated devices meeting 2020 WHO specifications, and identify evidence gaps.
Most automated upper-arm blood pressure devices fulfill validation criteria, but significant gaps remain in validation across diverse populations, arm circumferences, and geographic regions.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Most validated automated BPMDs support routine clinical and home use; extends validation evidence while leaving gaps in diverse populations open.
Murthy et al. (2023) conducted a review in Blood pressure measurement. Automated noninvasive blood pressure measurement devices (BPMDs) with upper arm cuff was evaluated on Validation criteria fulfillment. A scoping review of 269 studies validating 251 automated noninvasive blood pressure measurement devices found that most devices fulfilled validation criteria, though reporting gaps remain.
