Do you have a link?

From what I can see it monitors heart rhythm not blood pressure?

I don’t think cuffless devices in general are ready for prime time - our position here: https://academic.oup.com/ajh/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/ajh/hpae154/7921176?redirectedFrom=fulltext in @amjhypertension.bsky.social

Very informative statement from Hypertension Canada. The device of interest is the Biobeat “patch” ABPM device. I will post the FDA document stating their assessment of its equivalence to current commercially available devices. This discussion highlights the value of https://validatebp.org to our field

Tells you how poorly FDA does at evaluating BP monitors!

Scary ! How is this possible? Please no conspiracy theories on Bluesky ! This is the reason that i am transitioning from Twitter/X !

It’s not a conspiracy - device approval - depending on class - always has had different standards than drugs

The European CE mark is ridiculously easy (RDN has had it forever)

See https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452302X16300183 from @jaccjournals.bsky.social for FDA process in particular:

Quite disappointing state of affairs that healthcare providers should be made aware of. There is minimal awareness about this. This device appears to be promising diagnostic tool, but we need peer reviewed data in order to be comfortable making clinical decisions based on this technology
