Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Ring-type Blood Pressure Measurement Device

October 11, 2023 updated by: Hae-young Lee, Seoul National University Hospital

Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Ring-type Blood Pressure Measurement Device Compared With 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Device: Pilot Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a ring-type blood pressure measurement device compared to a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device in patients with hypertension or suspected hypertension. The main question it aims to answer is whether the 24-hour blood pressure measurement accuracy of the ring-type blood pressure monitor is similar to that of the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor. To participate, subjects must wear a ring blood pressure monitor and an ambulatory blood pressure monitor simultaneously for 24 hours.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients scheduled for 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring for diagnostic purposes among those suspected of having hypertension
  2. Confirmed hypertensive patients scheduled for 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring for treatment purposes

    • Either criterion 1 or 2 are planned to be selected as study participants.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants who do not consent to the study
  • Individuals with a Body Mass Index of 30 or above (there's a concern of measurement errors as the standard 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure cuffs may not fit well)
  • Pregnancy
  • Baseline heart disease patients: individuals with a history of hospitalization due to heart failure, valvular disease, or myocardial infarction
  • Patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation on a 12 lead EKG within the past 6 months
  • End-stage renal disease (patients undergoing dialysis)
  • Users of mobile phones that are not compatible with the test device (CART-I plus) used in the study

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The average agreement between blood pressure measured with a 24-hour ambulatory BP measurement device and blood pressure measured with a ring-type BP measurement device during a subject's activity time.
Time Frame: Compare the blood pressure measured over 24 hours using a ring-type blood pressure monitor and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
