About this study

Official title: Validation of Photoplethysmography Device for the Measurement of Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity Against Carotid-Femoral Values From Piezoelectric Sensors

Existing techniques available for capturing reliable aortic pulse wave velocity measurements and estimating aortic stiffness are costly and require technical expertise. The purpose of this research is to investigate an oximeter device performance as a stand-alone aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement instrument. By validating this device and its measurements against the gold-standard method of carotid-femoral readings, we aim to demonstrate that the proposed method is an comparably effective in terms of the metrics (Mean difference, standard deviation, correlation, etc.) outlined by the Artery Society Guidelines.

What participants receive

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

  • System & Method for Monitoring Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity & Blood PressureDevice

    Carotid-femoral aortic pulse wave velocity will be compared against values collected from the oximeter system. The former is assessed by placing piezoelectric pressure sensors at three locations: the right common carotid artery, the right common femoral artery (groin), and the right superficial femoral artery (thigh). The oximeter will be secured on the right index finger. Simultaneous data collection will occur for both methods, with each trail lasting 60 seconds.

Study groups in NCT05400421
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Device Calibration & Algorithm TrainingThe data obtained from this group will be used to a) quantify the relationship between PWV measured at the groin versus the thigh for less intrusive future piezo sensor placement and b) train the proposed device for the next cohort.
Receives: Device: System & Method for Monitoring Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity & Blood Pressure
Device & Algorithm TestingThe gold-standard and new device values will be collected from this group to validate the previously trained system.
