NCT02552030

Brief Summary

In this Trial we compare a new application (App) running on an iPhone (Apple inc., Model 4S) to determine systolic blood pressure (RR) and compare it to conventional oscillometric measurements using an Omron HBP-1300-E Pro device. We will include 1000 participants and perform seven repetitive blood pressure measurements (3 iPhone, 4 Omron) in each person. Primary parameter will be the absolute difference (Delta) between the correlating blood pressure measurements in mmHg.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Absolute difference between systolic blood pressure values determined with an oscillometric cuff device and an iPhone 4s (Delta mmHg)

    In each participant seven repetitive blood pressure measurements will be performed. Starting with a conventional cuff measurement followed by an iPhone measurement, followed by a conventional cuff measurement and so on. Then the absolute difference between each pair of successive measurements will be calculated. These differences will then be averaged and documented as primary result.

    1 day

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Relative difference between oscillometric blood pressure measurement and iPhone based blood pressure measurement

    1 day

  • Percent of invalid measurements

    1 day

  • Comparison of primary outcome in the subgroup of patients with atherosclerosis compared to the participants without arteriosclerosis.

    1 day
