Switzerland-based Leman Micro Devices (LMD) has unveiled a smartphone-integrated solution Health Sensor and App, which combines a sensor and software to measure vital signs such as blood pressure with medical accuracy.
The firm has already conducted trials to evaluate the accuracy of the system and intends to submit for approval from regulators such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) later this year.
Equipped with Riva-Rocci technique, the app eliminates the requirement for a cuff on the arm to measure blood pressure. It instead instructs the user on how hard to push the finger against the firm’s sensor that is built into the smartphone.
