Cuffless blood pressure monitors offer a promising approach for the detection and prevention of hypertension, though achieving clinical performance standards remains a challenge.
Cuffless blood pressure monitors offer a promising alternative to traditional cuff-based devices for continuous monitoring, though achieving clinical performance standards remains a challenge.
Cardiovascular diseases, particularly hypertension, pose a significant threat to global health, often referred to as a "silent killer". Traditional cuff-based blood pressure monitors have limitations in terms of convenience and continuous monitoring capabilities. As an alternative, cuffless blood pressure monitors offer a promising approach for the detection and prevention of hypertension. Despite their potential, achieving clinical performance standards remains a challenge. This review focuses on the principles of the device, current research and development, and devices that are currently approved as medical devices. Then, we describe measures to meet home and clinical performance requirements. In addition, we provide thoughts on validating the accuracy of devices in the home and hospital setting.
Tamura et al. (Wed,) conducted a review in Hypertension. Cuffless blood pressure monitors vs. Traditional cuff-based blood pressure monitors was evaluated. Cuffless blood pressure monitors offer a promising approach for the detection and prevention of hypertension, though achieving clinical performance standards remains a challenge.
