A novel smartphone app for blood pressure measurement: a proof-of-concept study against an arterial catheter

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Method comparison study

Authors' conclusion

Its trending ability was investigated in highly dynamic conditions, demonstrating high concordance and accuracy.

Study context

Population
Patients requiring GA and invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring, during induction of GA565 recordings from 109 analysed
Participants
