Key result
Fewer than 2% (67 out of over 3,800) of studies on novel cuffless continuous blood pressure monitoring devices adopted appropriate validation criteria, compromising the reliability of reported results.
Why the study?
Traditional cuff-based validation standards do not apply to novel cuffless BP monitoring devices, and under 2% of cuffless continuous BP device studies have used appropriate validation criteria.
Population
Over 3,800 studies on cuffless continuous BP devices
Design
Comparative analysis of validation protocols

Insufficient validation in cuffless BP research compromises reported accuracy; leaves open clinical utility and requires stricter standards in future studies.
Highlights the critical need for adopting appropriate, specific validation standards for novel cuffless blood pressure monitoring devices to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Fang et al. (2025) conducted a review in Blood pressure monitoring. Validation protocols for blood pressure measuring devices was evaluated. Fewer than 2% (67 out of over 3,800) of studies on novel cuffless continuous blood pressure monitoring devices adopted appropriate validation criteria, compromising the reliability of reported results.
