New baby blood pressure monitor could save tiny lives
NCT ID NCT07547917
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new, gentle device called Boppli that continuously measures blood pressure in newborn babies in the NICU. Researchers will compare it to the standard blood pressure cuff to see if it works better at finding high blood pressure. The study includes 30 infants at risk for hypertension and follows them for one year.
