Long-Term Validation of a Blood Pressure Sensor at the Chest

A long-term validation of a novel technology to measure Blood Pressure (BP) at the chest is summarized in this abstract.A total number of 15 subjects participated in a two weeks experiments involving simultaneous measurement of BP via a brachial oscillometric device, and the novel chest sensor.The cumulative percentage of Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) values provided by the chest sensor falling within a range of ±5 mmHg compared to reference MAP readings was of 70%, within ±10 mmHg was of 91%, and within ±15mmHg was of 98%.The novel chest technology offers a new approach to assess BP continuously without interfering with patients' life style.
