BACKGROUND: Cuffless blood pressure (BP) measurement, enabled by recent advances in wearable devices, allows for BP monitoring in daily life. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, cresdence, and usefulness of cuffless BP monitoring through a population survey. METHODS: During the "Daily BP Measurement with Your Galaxy Watch" campaign held by the Korean Society of Hypertension, participants were asked to share their experiences with cuffless BP measurement using a smartwatch application through an online survey. The questionnaire included questions about age, underlying medical conditions, smartwatch utilization, experience with BP calibration, the reliability of BP values measured by a smartwatch, and willingness to use the BP monitoring function in the future. RESULTS: A total of 1071 participants responded to the survey. The largest age group (decile) was 50-59 years old (33.3%), followed by 40-49 years old (29.9%). Although nearly half of the participants (47.5%) had no chronic diseases, 40.1% reported having hypertension. BP monitoring was the most frequently utilized smartwatch function (95.8%), followed by heart rate measurement (87.1%). 31.8% of participants reported that BP values measured by the smartphone application were "very accurate and helpful," while 63.5% rated them as "slightly lower (44.4%)" or "higher (19.1%)" compared to the standard home BP monitoring device. 93% of the participants reported utilizing the BP monitoring function at least once a week. Regarding the BP calibration process, most participants (93.9%) calibrated the BP measurement application themselves, and 50.8% rated the difficulty level as "very easy." CONCLUSION: Cuffless BP measurement using a smartwatch application was feasible in the general population, including the self-calibration process. However, the satisfaction level in terms of accuracy is still modest, indicating a need for further development.
背景:可穿戴设备的最新进展使无袖带血压测量成为可能,从而能够在日常生活中进行血压监测。本研究旨在通过一项人群调查评估无袖带血压监测的可行性、可信度和实用性。 方法:在韩国高血压学会举办的“使用您的Galaxy手表进行每日血压测量”活动期间,参与者被要求通过在线调查分享他们使用智能手表应用程序进行无袖带血压测量的经验。问卷包括有关年龄、基础疾病、智能手表使用情况、血压校准经验、智能手表测量的血压值的可靠性以及未来使用血压监测功能的意愿等问题。 结果:共有1071名参与者回复了调查。最大年龄组(十分位数)为50 - 59岁(33.3%),其次是40 - 49岁(29.9%)。虽然近一半的参与者(47.5%)没有慢性病,但40.1%的人报告患有高血压。血压监测是最常使用的智能手表功能(95.8%),其次是心率测量(87.1%)。31.8%的参与者报告称智能手机应用程序测量的血压值“非常准确且有用”,而63.5%的人认为与标准家用血压监测设备相比,这些值“略低(44.4%)”或“略高(19.1%)”。93%的参与者报告至少每周使用一次血压监测功能。关于血压校准过程,大多数参与者(93.9%)自己校准了血压测量应用程序,50.8%的人将难度级别评为“非常容易”。 结论:使用智能手表应用程序进行无袖带血压测量在普通人群中是可行的,包括自我校准过程。然而,在准确性方面的满意度仍然一般,这表明需要进一步改进。
