The action for distributing cuffless blood pressure

Abstract

The blood pressure is the best index to check cardiovascular diseases. Generally, we use cuff-based blood pressure monitor, but the handling is sometimes not easy. Thus we have attempted a cuffless blood pressure monitor. Recently IEEE approved a standard of cuffless blood pressure. However, cuffless blood pressure has not been interested both in clinical point of view and approve of certification agency. The cuffless blood pressure has several advantages such as easy to handle, relatively inexpensive and reliable for long term monitoring. In this session, the current activity of approving and distributing cuffless blood pressure is discussed.
