NCT04082819

Brief Summary

The goal of the study was to compare the current gold standard blood pressure instrument (a mercury-filled sphygmomanometer with cuff and stethoscope) with the new experimental algorithm developed by HeartBeat Technologies Ltd. To that end, participants were recruited from Markham, Ontario and participated in a series of alternating blood pressure measurements over a period of 45 minutes. Comparisons were made between manual measurements and device measurements to determine the quality of the device readings. Measurements were taken by trained nurses and staff were consistent across the study duration.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Difference Between Systolic Manual Sphygmomanometer and Finger Pulse Oximeter Readings

    Each device reading was compared to the manual blood pressure reading taken before (R1) and after it (R2). The degree of alignment for systolic blood pressure was calculated by taking the difference between the two scores (manual and device). The reading with the best alignment was used.

    45 - 60 minutes

  • Difference Between Diastolic Manual and Device Blood Pressure Readings

    Each device reading was compared to the manual reading before (R1) and after (R2) it, to calculate the degree of alignment. The difference of the device and R1, and the device and R2 were taken. The smaller number was used for results reporting.

    45-60 minutes
