A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical investigation evaluates a new contactless technology for measuring arterial stiffness and its potential in assessing cardiovascular disease risk. The study focuses on a primary care cohort, utilizing a laser-radar-based vibrometer to gather data on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular health. Participants will undergo various assessments, including blood pressure measurements and ECG, with additional investigations for those at higher risk of cardiovascular issues. The aim is to improve the precision of cardiovascular disease risk assessment through a multi-modal approach.
