The Accuracy Of Blood Pressure Measurement By Two Cuff-Less Wearable And Portable Health Devices, Dylan M. Bard, Noud Van Helmond, Christina Hahnen, Nilanjan Haldar, Cecilia Freeman, Jacquelyn N. Hamati, Vignesh Murali, Jeffrey I. Joseph
Phase 1
Introduction: Wearable and portable devices that claim to measure blood pressure without the need of a cuff are becoming increasingly popular among consumers. Given that hypertension is the leading cause for cardiovascular mortality worldwide, a portable technology that allows consumers to easily measure their BP several times a day would be of great value. However, the convenience that portable health technology provides is useless, and even dangerous, if the measurements are inaccurate.
Objective: Investigate the accuracy of two popular commercial cuff-less BP device, the Bodimetrics Performance Monitor and Everlast TR10 watch.
Methods: A sample of 127 ambulatory patients (>18y) …

Phase 1
Introduction: Hypertension is a leading cause of mortality. Proper blood pressure (BP) control can be achieved by lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and frequent measurements. With the growing popularity of cuffless blood pressure monitors, it is important to independently validate their accuracy.
Objective: We evaluated two cuffless blood pressure monitors, The Everlast TR10 fitness watch and the BodiMetrics Performance Monitor, for their accuracy and precision in BP measurements.
Methods: Using a protocol derived from the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 2013 standard for evaluating automated sphygmomanometers, we measured the blood pressures of 85 patients recruited from the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Preadmission Testing Center with two …
