Measurements & outputs

Measurements and outputs

  • Repeated cuffless systolic and diastolic blood-pressure estimates.
  • Heart-rate observations and paired environmental measurements.

Research workflow

Research workflow

The Freiburg slides illustrate an Aktiia device with a cuff for calibration.

The SEACO cardiovascular research example combines wearable measures with indoor climate, questionnaires and weather data.

Interpretation & current limits

Interpretation and limitations

  • Calibration, participant eligibility and device-specific validation must follow the actual study protocol.
  • Slide descriptions are research examples. They do not establish diagnostic accuracy or suitability for clinical decisions.
