Sense raises ?
• Severe Hypertension News • Feb 16 12
Sense A/S out of Taastrup, Denmark is developing a continuous blood pressure monitor that doesn??™t rely on a typical pressure cuff, but rather on a patch that has electrodes that sense the changing impedance of tissue around a vessel and convert it into a BP reading. Measuring other characteristics in electrical signal can also identify vascular stiffness and pulse velocity.

The company just raised ?‚¬ 4.5 million in a third investment round and believes that a 510(k) approval from the FDA is likely sufficient to get the device to market.

The Danish company Sense A/S develops ContiPress?„?, which continuously measures the patient??™s blood pressure 24 hours a day, down to every 10 second day and night, without the user noticing. ContiPress?„? consists of an intelligent patch, which the doctor or nurse places on the patient??™s upper arm. From there, the unit monitors the patient??™s blood pressure over 24 hours and stores the data for subsequent analysis via an enclosed piece of software. The result is comprehensive data about the patient??™s blood pressure over 24 hours and thus an optimal basis for making the correct diagnosis. Sense raises ?
