Cuff Size Affects Blood Pressure Readings, Potentially Leading to Underdiagnosis or OverdiagnosisAccording to this studyKaren,RosenbergAmerican Journal of Nursing: Official Magazine of the American Nurses' Associstion
Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, which consists of an inflatable cuff and a measurement device. The cuff is wrapped around the upper arm and inflated, restricting blood flow. As the cuff deflates, the device measures the pressure exerted on the artery walls, giving readings f...
Continuous monitoring of blood pressure (BP) is essential for the prediction and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Cuffless BP methods based on non-invasive sensors integrated into wearable devices can translate blood pulsatile activity into continuous BP data. However, local blood pulsatile sen...
Home blood pressure monitoringcan be effective but you need training touse the equipment correctly.2Fluctuating blood pressure numbers could be caused by the cuff or your skill level in using it, and if you're using drugstore machines, they're not known for being accurate. To prevent errors,...
High blood pressure is usually diagnosed using the familiar blood pressure test that involves a cuff wrapped around the upper arm. The cuff is inflated and then sensors measure the pressure of blood beating against yourarteries. To get a good blood pressure reading, sit quietly in a co...

This watch does not have an inflatable cuff. Instead, it relies on sensor technology and sophisticated algorithms to predict blood pressure. So, how does this work? Well, theElectrocardiography (ECG) sensorsmeasure heart rate. And the Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor measures pulse. When combined,...
pressure measurement function. The watch has an internal cuff under the main strap. In fact, it is the thinnest tire possible. The gadget inflates it with a special built-in mini-pump, creating pressure on the wrist. As the resistance in the cuff increases, the sensor reads the readings....
An ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) is worn for 24h. Hence, they must be lightweight and compact in size for patient comfort. The work presented inJuteau and Gosselin (2020)shows a fully wearable device directly worn on the occlusion cuff. The raw signals are transmitted to thebase...
