The device is designed to overcome the disadvantages of traditional cuffed spygmonanometers, and the discomfort and potential hazards of invasive blood pressure monitors. In a global study led by Associate Professor Mehmet Yuce from Monash University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, 43 Australian participants trialed a wireless blood pressure monitoring device, developed by the research team, which provided continual readings across a 24-hour period. Data was recorded during a range of sedentary…
