Overview
The aim of this study is to verify the long-term accuracy of blood pressure and heart rate measurements by Samsung smartwatches between two consecutive calibrations compared to a standard digital tonometer used in clinical practice and for home measurement of these vital parameters.
Description
Recently, smartwatches can measure a wide range of biological signals, including heart rate and blood pressure. The short-term reliability of blood pressure measurements after the required calibration has been studied, but long-term reliability is still a question. The aim of the project is to experimentally evaluate the reliability of long-term blood pressure measurement with a Samsung smart watch between two consecutive calibrations over a period of 28 days in comparison with a digital tonometer (Omron) approved as a medical device. Volunteers will measure blood pressure and heart rate manually twice a day from a smartwatch and a digital tonometer simultaneously. The agreement of the measurements of both devices will be evaluated.
