A wearable cuffless blood pressure monitoring system: real-time measurement using force sensing and waveform analysis

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Method comparison (validation) study

Authors' conclusion

This study represents the first clinical validation of a tactile force-sensing cuffless system against intra-arterial reference measurements, demonstrating its feasibility for real-time, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring during anesthesia.
