Cuffless blood pressure measurement technologies have attracted significant attention for their potential to transform cardiovascular monitoring. This updated narrative review thoroughly examines the challenges, opportunities, and limitations associated with the implementation of cuffless blood pressure monitoring systems. Diverse technologies, including photoplethysmography, tonometry, and ECG analysis, enable cuffless blood pressure measurement and are integrated into devices like smartphones and smartwatches. Signal processing emerges as a critical aspect, dictating the accuracy and reliability of readings. Despite its potential, the integration of cuffless technologies into clinical practice faces obstacles, including the need to address concerns related to accuracy, calibration, and standardization across diverse devices and patient populations. The development of robust algorithms to mitigate artifacts and environmental disturbances is essential for extracting clear physiological signals. Based on extensive research, this review emphasizes the necessity for standardized protocols, validation studies, and regulatory frameworks to ensure the reliability and safety of cuffless blood pressure monitoring devices and their implementation in mainstream medical practice. Interdisciplinary collaborations between engineers, clinicians, and regulatory bodies are crucial to address technical, clinical, and regulatory complexities during implementation. In conclusion, while cuffless blood pressure monitoring holds immense potential to transform cardiovascular care. The resolution of existing challenges and the establishment of rigorous standards are imperative for its seamless incorporation into routine clinical practice. The emergence of these new technologies shifts the paradigm of cardiovascular health management, presenting a new possibility for non-invasive continuous and dynamic monitoring. The concept of cuffless blood pressure measurement is viable and more finely tuned devices are expected to enter the market, which could redefine our understanding of blood pressure and hypertension.
无袖带血压测量技术因其在心血管监测方面的变革潜力而受到广泛关注。本更新的叙述性综述深入探讨了无袖带血压监测系统实施所面临的挑战、机遇和限制。多种技术,包括光体积描记法、测压法和心电图分析,可实现无袖带血压测量,并集成到智能手机和智能手表等设备中。信号处理成为一个关键方面,决定了读数的准确性和可靠性。尽管具有潜力,但无袖带技术在临床实践中的整合仍面临障碍,包括需要解决准确性、跨不同设备和患者群体校准和标准化方面的问题。开发强大的算法来减轻伪影和环境干扰对于提取清晰的生理信号至关重要。基于广泛的研究,本综述强调需要标准化协议、验证研究和监管框架,以确保无袖带血压监测设备的可靠性和安全性,并将其纳入主流医疗实践。工程师、临床医生和监管机构之间的跨学科合作对于解决实施过程中的技术、临床和监管复杂性至关重要。总之,虽然无袖带血压监测具有变革心血管护理的巨大潜力,但为了将其无缝纳入常规临床实践,需要解决现有挑战并建立严格的标准。这些新技术的出现改变了心血管健康管理的模式,为非侵入性连续和动态监测提供了新的可能。无袖带血压测量的概念是可行的,预计更精细的设备将进入市场,这可能重新定义我们对血压和高血压的理解。
