ABOUT CNBP
The Importance of Blood Pressure (BP)
Blood pressure is a core indicator of human health. Its real-time fluctuations reflect the function and adaptive capacity of the cardiovascular system.
During surgery and anesthesia, the real-time stability of blood pressure directly affects patient outcomes and the regulation of anesthetic depth.
For hospitalized critical care patients, continuous blood pressure monitoring provides highly accurate dynamic data, helping medical teams respond quickly to changes in a patient’s condition.
Research shows that blood pressure variability (BPV) is closely related to the risk of cardiovascular events, and precise monitoring is required to capture abnormalities.
Continuous vs. Non-Continuous
Monitoring and the Challenges of Continuous Monitoring
Non-continuous blood pressure monitoring is the most common method, being simple to operate and convenient for routine or daily use, such as with electronic blood pressure monitors. However, non-continuous monitoring only records data at specific points in time, making it difficult to capture short-term blood pressure fluctuations.
Continuous blood pressure monitoring, on the other hand, can record dynamic changes in blood pressure, making it particularly suitable for surgery and intensive care. For example, the arterial catheter is a highly accurate invasive device that can instantly reflect blood pressure fluctuations, but it requires operation by professional medical personnel and its invasiveness increases the risk of infection, limiting its widespread use.
Other non-invasive methods, such as Photoplethysmography (PPG), offer a comfortable option for long-term monitoring and can be applied in convenient wearable devices. Nonetheless, PPG technology still faces challenges such as individual differences, environmental interference, and data accuracy, and the depth of the data remains limited.
The Advantages of CNBP and ArteVu
Accurate Continuous Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (CNBP) monitoring is undoubtedly the new optimal solution for clinical blood pressure monitoring. The finger-clip blood pressure measurement device requires no puncture or repeated inflation. Through highly sensitive sensor technology and arterial waveform analysis, it is unaffected by skin tone or ambient light, achieving real-time, painless continuous monitoring and enabling more precise and efficient clinical decisions.
Impact on Clinical Application
ArteVu’s technology can integrate pulse wave and hemodynamics, providing long-term periodic waveform data. The data can be analyzed to detect other cardiovascular conditions, providing additional benefits. In the past, there were technical bottlenecks in the real-time transmission and efficient analysis of dynamic data. Now, ArteVu is focused on improving the accuracy and practicality of non-invasive technology and deepening data integration capabilities to support the development of precision medicine.
