PRESSURE

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. High blood pressure (hypertension) is an important risk factor for its onset, and targeted treatment can effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. For continuous blood pressure measurements in normal hospital departments or during home rehabilitation, resistant blood pressure methods are not suitable. However, the digital PPG (PhotoPlethysMography) technique shows promising results. The aim of the project is to develop within 3 years a prototype of an innovative portable and fully wireless system for continuous cuffless blood pressure monitoring for cardiovascular care, based on photoplethysmography (PPG) and validation of this system as a service for both hospital and home patients. By continuously and reliably measuring the heart rate, cardiovascular diseases can be prevented, and thus considerable health gains can be achieved.
