Evaluation of Aktiia cuffless blood pressure monitor across 24-h, daytime, and night-time measurements versus ambulatory monitoring: a prospective, single-centre observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitors represent an innovative approach to BP assessment, overcoming the traditional episodic nature of readings obtained from cuff-based, oscillometric modalities. Nonetheless, the comparison of these cuffless devices against their cuff-based counterparts remain debated.

Methods

This study evaluated BP readings from a cuffless, continual BP monitor (Aktiia monitor, Neuchâtel, Switzerland) and a standard 24-h ambulatory BP monitor (ABPM; Dyasis 3, Novacor, Paris, France) in 54 patients undergoing a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Comparisons encompassed 24-h, daytime (9 a.m.-9 p.m.), and night-time (11 p.m.-7 a.m.) systolic and diastolic BP (SBP, DBP) using a 7-day average from Aktiia overlapping a 1
