Skylabs (CEO Byung-Hwan Lee), Professor Lee Hae-young from Seoul National University and Professor Si-hyuk Kang from Seoul National University Bundang discussed the benefits and effectiveness of Cart BP, a continuous blood pressure measurement device -dor, at the ‘Korean Cardiology Spring Conference 2024’ held in Gyeongju on the 19th It was announced on the 22nd that she was presenting .

A presentation was given by Professor Lee Hae-young on the topic ‘Validation of a Cuffless BP Monitoring Device.’ First, Professor Lee introduced the non-invasive method of measuring blood pressure available on the market.

He said, “△Blood pressure and electrocardiogram measurement method using photoplethysmography (PPG), which shoots light at the top of the current finger, △Analysis method using a smart watch, △Analysis method after taking a picture of the face with a mobile phone, △Using a cuff on the finger.Method △There is a smart ring-shaped blood pressure monitoring method, etc.,” he said.

According to the Food and Drug Safety Administration, the ring-shaped blood pressure monitor, Cart BP, has measurement values ​​that are 95% similar to existing blood pressure monitors, proving its clinical effectiveness. The current 24-hour blood pressure measurement (ABPM) method can cause sleep problems and pain due to the repeated pressure of the cuff, but the Cart BP is not uncomfortable to wear, and in clinical trials, the current method of 24-hour blood pressure measurement (ABPM) Professor Lee explains that the blood pressure values ​​compared to ) are also similar.

Professor Jaehyung Park from Chungnam National University Hospital gave a presentation on the topic, ‘Using ABPM for Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertension.’ Professor Park said, “When blood pressure is measured in hospitals, patients with white coat hypertension and mask hypertension sometimes occur. If patients directly measure blood pressure at home using a blood pressure machine, it is cumbersome due to low reliability, so the 24 – hour blood pressure measurement method (ABPM) is a problem.” ) is recommended,” he said.

He added, “However, there is a limitation as it is not easy to measure blood pressure at night because it decreases or disturbs the quality of sleep.” He added, “This problem can be solved by using a smart-type ring. type a blood pressure monitor like the BP Cart.”

Professor Kang Si-hyuk said, “Cart BP continues to increase its reliability by conducting comparative studies with existing blood pressure measurement methods.”
