NEC has developed a blood pressure measurement technology that enables high-precision blood pressure measurements with a low application of pressure (stress). This new technology provides high-precision blood pressure measurements that can be applied for medical use while removing the need to apply pressure to the arm above the systolic blood pressure, which is essential when taking conventional measurements. This is accomplished by analyzing the waveform of the subject’s pulse and predicting blood flow changes. In addition to reducing the size of the blood pressure cuffs (i.e., inflatable bag) used for blood pressure measurement, NEC has also integrated the mechanisms that are separate from the arm cuff, such as the pump and power supply, into a single unit.
