Aside from the home use, If this could be proven to be just as accurate as arterial lines this would be a huge benefit to patients in the ICU or undergoing major surgery where continuous blood pressure is needed. I hate putting in A-lines.


Yes, the concept is sold as a huge benefit in patient quality-of-life.

A-lines mean you can't just get up and move, or even roll over in bed. Non-invasive measures can simply be unclipped, or made fully mobile in the first place.

The problem is having a non-invasive method which works, which has been the sticking point until now.


It’s one of my favorite procedures! To each their own I guess.
