Blood pressure monitoring for early detection of pre-eclampsia: I-bracelet
I-bracelet is a research project led by four other French and Romanian partners.
It aims to launch a new technology for early detection of blood pressure patterns, which may indicate future diseases.
This project is completed now. If interested, feel free to contact us.
Blood pressure monitoring bracelet for early-detection of pre-eclampsia: introduction
Hypertensive disorders affect about 10% of pregnant women worldwide. They are a significant cause of long-term disability and death among mothers and babies.
Blood pressure problems affect around 40% of the population worldwide. Early detection of abnormal blood pressure trends over time allows clinical monitoring and prompt therapeutic intervention.
The proposed system ensures accurate blood pressure monitoring, increasing the likelihood of detecting early signs of blood pressure disorders.
Its sensor system would allow early detection of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia and other blood pressure problems as well.
The final aim of the project will be to validate this type of non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device for the early detection of fatal diseases linked to hypertension, such as heart attacks.
Blood pressure monitoring bracelet for early-detection of pre-eclampsia: project description
The system will consist of a bracelet with a pressure sensor to monitor the blood pressure waveform across the wrist artery continuously. The resulting data will be sent via a wireless connection to a smartphone or a computer.
A software application will be developed to predict the early signs of disorders.
Funded by BPI France – Eurostars-Eureka project E10871 (I-Bracelet)
