Ever wondered if your blood pressure device works properly? People who use blood pressure measurement devices at home are invited to participate in the Measure BP study led by The University of Sydney.
High blood pressure is a modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factor and may be tracked with regular measurement. Many blood pressure measurement devices are not validated for accuracy. New wearable technology is convenient but is often not validated.
This study aims to document the accuracy of home blood pressure devices and a (provided) wearable device. The accuracy results of your home blood pressure device and the wearable device will be compared to ‘gold standard’ 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
The research team will ask you a few questions to confirm your eligibility. This can be completed via a brief online survey.
As part of this study, you will have your home blood pressure monitor checked for accuracy and quality. You receive a 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure monitoring report. This is the medical ‘gold-standard’ for blood pressure measurement.
