Scientists test Finger-Sensor tech to replace bulky blood pressure cuffs

NCT ID NCT05554315

Summary

This study tested a new, less cumbersome method for continuously monitoring blood pressure. Researchers wanted to see if a new light-based sensor placed on a finger or toe could measure blood pressure changes as accurately as older methods. They tested this on 40 healthy adults by having them perform simple tasks like breathing slowly and putting a hand in cold water.
