Accurate blood pressure measurement can now be cuff-less and calibration-free and can be built in to every smartphone

“Cuff-less” devices that require cuff calibration or wearables that are not medically accurate will not solve the global hypertension epidemic

December 2, 2019

November 27, 2019, Lausanne, Switzerland: The first measurement of blood pressure was made in 1896 by squeezing the flesh around an artery. This method remains the only non-invasive way to measure blood pressure, and 123 years later, there is only one device in the world that can do it without a cuff and to medical accuracy. That device, the V-Sensor, is the technical implementation of proven medical science by Leman Micro Devices (LMD), the developer of regulated consumer healthcare products that is backed by major players within the mobile device industry.

There are many ways of tracking … Read More → "Accurate blood pressure measurement can now be cuff-less and calibration-free and can be built in to every smartphone"
