Tiny sensor could track blood pressure continuously without inflatable cuff

AI Summary

Researchers at Technion have developed a small sensor concept for continuous blood-pressure measurement without an inflatable cuff. The team’s findings were published in Nature Communications, though the device’s use is described as a future possibility.

A tiny sensor could one day measure blood pressure continuously, comfortably and accurately without an inflatable cuff. The device was developed by professors Amir Rosenthal and Daniel Lange of the Technion's Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, together with doctoral student Gil Gelbert. They published their findings in Nature Communications.
