About this study

Official title: Non-invasive and Continuous Monitoring of Diastolic Blood Pressure: a Prospective Observational Study - IMPACT

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the accuracy of measuring beat-by-beat diastolic blood pressure from a non-invasive, cuffless and non-obtrusive watch-like optical device worn at the wrist.

Read the detailed description

Given the prevalence of hypertension in society and the current limitations associated with oscillometric cuffs, the need for a continuous cuffless alternative for blood pressure home monitoring at a global scale is paramount. Such a device would not only improve the global control of blood pressure, but more generally, it could have a larger social impact by improving the comfort and reducing the stress for the clinical management of hypertensive patients.

In the present study the investigators seek to investigate, as a primary purpose, to evaluate the accuracy of non-invasive blood pressure measurements via a watch-like optical sensor and compare these to standard monitoring (arterial line).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Optical sensor, Pulse watchDiagnostic test

    Continuous blood pressure monitoring obtained by a Pulse watch

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of diastolic blood pressures (in mmHg) assessed via non-invasive vs. invasive blood pressure (arterial line) measurement

    Statistical comparison of both measures of diastolic blood pressure

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Descriptive assessment: time until normalization of measurement after re-calibration of diastolic blood pressure measurement using the non-invasive approach

    To evaluate the influence of the re-calibration time interval (amount of time in-between two consecutive calibrations of the optical devices) on the accuracy of diastolic blood pressure assessment.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Descriptive analysis of comparison to measurements at the fingertip (non-invasive vs. fingertip diastolic blood pressure assessment)

    To compare the accuracy when applied to photoplethysmographic signals measured at the wrist versus signals measured at the fingertip.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Hypertension, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of diastolic blood pressures (in mmHg) assessed via non-invasive vs. invasive blood pressure (arterial line) measurement (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Nov 2024.
