About this study

Official title: Single-center Intervention Study to Validate the Performance of the Aktiia SA PulseWatch Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring (OBPM) Device at the Wrist Against Invasive Blood Pressure Measurements With Arterial Line

Single-centre intervention study to validate the performance of the Aktiia SA optical blood pressure monitoring (OBPM) device at the wrist against invasive blood pressure measurements with arterial line.

Read the detailed description

Aktiia SA PulseWatch is an investigational device for the optical measurement of blood pressure that uses only optical sensors at the wrist. HNE is interested in exploring the potential of the device and technology (OBPM), and aims at benchmarking its performances against gold standard measurements of blood pressure.

The goal of this study is thus to assess whether i) PulseWatch allows to capture blood pressure variations, and ii) the measured blood pressure values remain stable in time.

The proposed study plans to include patients that are already scheduled for arterial catheterization at HNE. For these patients, the study will only require the placement of the safe optical device on the wrist to non-invasively record hemodynamic fluctuations. Therefore, no additional risk for the patient is to be foreseen.

By demonstrating that the Aktiia SA OBPM technology is reliable, HNE aims to make one step further in improving blood pressure monitoring in general, and in particular in advancing the deployment of technologies that have the potential to be used in the ambulatory setting. The diagnosis and treatment of hypertension are expected to largely benefit from these advancements.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aktiia OBPM PulseWatch wrist deviceDevice

    The optical signals at the wrist are recorded non-invasively. The BP measurements are further determined from these optical signals and are compared to the reference BP readings.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cuffless Blood Pressure performance

    The evaluation of the accuracy (mean error and standard deviation of the error) of the non-invasive BP measurements at wrist with the PulseWatch against the reference gold-standard invasive blood pressure obtained by arterial line with respect to ISO 81060-2 (14) for two aspects: i) capturing the variations of the BP in short time and ii) maintaining the accurate stable measurements over extended periods of time.

    Measured: 4 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aktiia OBPM PulseWatch wrist device in people with Blood Pressure, run by Hopital Neuchatelois at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cuffless Blood Pressure performance (time frame: 4 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jun 2019.
