A team of researchers from Tulane University, in their article “High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Disease” published in the Journal of Hypertension, highlights that abnormal blood pressure readings, whether high or low, in systolic or diastolic measurements, can signal potential health issues. T...
The article reports on a study published in the June 2010 issue of the "Journal of Trauma, Injury, Infection, and Critical Care" indicating a systolic blood pressure measurement under 10.5 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) that can be a sign of severe injuries requiring immediate surgery....
“This is what distinguishes our device from other blood pressure monitors,” said Wang. Other cuffless systems being developed for smartwatches and smartphones, he explained, require obtaining a separate set of measurements with a cuff so that their models can be tuned to fit these measurem...
High blood pressure Smoking Heavy alcohol use High levels of stress and anxiety Using recreational drugs, especially narcotics and cannabis (marijuana) Bradycardia Diagnosis Your doctor will likely diagnose you based on a physical exam and tests, such as: ...
Comorbid conditions. This study used the OMRON HAM-8731 Blood Pressure Monitor (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan). The means of three different systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings measured at 5-minute intervals were used to report the respondents’ blood pressure values. Hypertension was de...
"This is what distinguishes our device from other blood pressure monitors," said Wang. Other cuffless systems being developed for smartwatches and smartphones, he explained, require obtaining a separate set of measurements with a cuff so that their models can be tuned to fit these measurements....
Since blood pressure measurements were taken in the homes of participants, coupled with no material differences in the mean blood pressure readings regardless of whether the average of the second and third reading or all available readings were used, any bias in blood pressure measurements, if ...
In all trials, variations in sub-bandage pressure can be attributed to muscle movement, blood flow direction, and the type and properties of the bandage used. The temperature and moisture measurements did not manifest any dependency on these factors. However, the moisture readings may be strongly...
During the consent process with mothers and families, the research assistants explained the various components of the passive data collection, how the information would be used, and demonstrated using the technology. The research assistants explained that this was an initial study to learn about collec...
additional calibration is needed. More crafted rules are explained in “Methods”. (b) Selected examples of falls the system reports. When > 60% of the body is visible on the screen and does not touch the predefined boundary (lower edge of the screen) after the fall, it will be ...
