What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of a cuff-less wrist wearable device called ViTrack in measuring blood pressure compared to traditional cuff-based devices. Healthy volunteers, both male and female, aged 18 and above, will participate in the study. The ViTrack device will be strapped over the radial artery at the wrist, and its readings will be compared with those obtained from a standard cuff-based blood pressure measuring device on the same arm. The goal is to determine if the new device can provide reliable blood pressure measurements.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could lead to more convenient and accurate blood pressure monitoring for patients.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on wearable blood pressure devices, the specific comparison of the ViTrack to traditional methods is relatively novel.
