Description:
The Aktiia Optical is an ambulatory blood pressure monitor. Medaval has not found evidence proving the accuracy of its blood pressure measurement technology. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the wrist. It is intended for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring research.
Assessment:
There appears to be no peer-reviewed clinical validation information available on the technology used in the Aktiia Optical to measure blood pressure.
Recommendations:
| Accuracy Assessment | Recommendation | Basis | |
