No more blood pressure cuff. No more fuss.

On October 28, 2020, CSEM was awarded 2nd place at the EARTO Innovation Awards 2020, in their Impact Delivered category. Our optical blood pressure monitoring technology is an easy-to-use, cuff-less optical sensing technology, which provides continuous blood pressure estimations and is capable of tracking short- to long-term blood pressure variations.

EARTO’s Impact delivered award is granted and adjudicated by an independent jury in recognition of an original innovation that contributes significantly to society and/or the economy by solving today’s challenges with a proven impact.

1st prize in the Impact Delivered category was awarded to the Helmholtz Association for their development of a novel non-invasive biomarker (CIM) method, which contributes to the early diagnosis of calcium loss and osteoporosis in humans. CSEM offers our congratulations to the Helmholtz Association for their well-deserved achievement.

Behind the scenes look

CSEM’s patented optical blood pressure monitoring technology is a wearable, multi-sensor solution for cuff-less blood pressure monitoring. Our health activities are helping to lead the medical world towards a new era of personalized healthcare, addressing the needs of portable medical applications, including resource limitation, miniaturization, precision, reliability, comfort, and production costs, all according to ISO 13485 standards.

Working with other award-winning companies such as AvaBiospectal, and our own start-up AKTIIA, this medical grade has overcome all limitations of traditional inflatable cuffs for blood pressure monitoring.

Tackling hypertenion, a “silent killer” disease, is of critical importance as it could potentially save millions of lives each year. Through a newly developed smartphone-based optical blood pressure measuring app, CSEM’s optical blood pressure monitoring algorithm was proven to be effective in chronic disease detection, prevention, and management.
