Contactless radar blood pressure check
This study tests a new radar device that measures blood pressure without touching your skin. It may help people who need frequent blood pressure checks or find arm cuffs uncomfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You need to be able to give consent
- You must fall into one of four groups: being seen at a special blood pressure clinic, having a planned heart procedure (angiogram), being willing to have a heart MRI, or being a healthy volunteer
- For the blood pressure clinic group: your blood pressure must be measurable with a stethoscope on your right arm
- You must not have certain heart or blood vessel conditions (like uncontrolled chest pain or a positive stress test) depending on the group
- You must not have any condition that makes standard blood pressure checks or imaging tests unsafe (like certain metal implants for MRI)

This study tests a new automatic blood pressure cuff that may work as well as the standard invasive blood pressure monitor. It is for adults in the operating room, recovery room, or intensive care unit who already have an arterial line.
This observational study tests how well a wearable device (the Aktiia bracelet) measures blood pressure by comparing it to standard listening checks. It may help people understand how accurate home-style blood pressure readings can be in different health situations.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can accurately measure your blood pressure without a cuff. It may help find people with high blood pressure early using only a phone.
This trial tests a new, no-contact device called Lifelight that measures your blood pressure just by looking at your face. It compares these readings to the standard cuff method, and you can use it at home for self-monitoring.
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure by using a light sensor on your fingertip, instead of a traditional arm cuff. It aims to see if this optical method works as well as standard blood pressure checks.
