Non-Interfering Blood Pressure Measurement
Despite the fact that blood pressure determination continues to be one of the most important measurements in all of clinical medicine
it is still one of the most inaccurately performed. [1, 2]
One of the biggest problems with current devices is that the device
itself and the circumstances under wich measurements are made may have a strong impact on the result. The measurement procedure is
also rather uncomfortable especially during continuous measurements.
Sense is dedicated to the development of a novel medical
device for accurate, non-invasive, non-interfering measurement of blood pressure.
