40 Years

Founded on 40 years of hemodynamics studies, Validated by 20+ years of research.

2,400+

The SphygmoCor technology has been independently validated by researchers worldwide and supported studies that resulted in over 2,400+ peer-reviewed publications.

Vascular Biomarkers Measured

			CONNEQT Pulse	CONNEQT Band (2025)

	Heart Rate (HR)	The number of heart beats per minute and can indicate cardiac health and fitness levels.
	Brachial Blood Pressure	The pressure of blood in the brachial artery in the upper arm, an indicator of cardiovascular health.		P
	Central Blood Pressure (SP & DP)	The pressure of blood at the root of the aorta, providing a more accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk compared to brachial blood pressure alone.		P
	Central Pulse Pressure (PP)	The pressure experienced by major organs like the heart, brain, and kidneys, signaling the risk of end-organ damage.		P
	Augmentation Pressure (AP)	The additional pressure exerted by the heart to overcome rigidity in the arterial wall, reflects both arterial stiffness and the extra workload on the heart.		P
	Augmentation Index (AIx)	An assessment of the relationship between AP and PP to indicate the extent to which arterial stiffness influences the overall pressure experienced within the arterial system.
	Subendocardial Viability Ratio (SEVR)	A measure the balance between blood supply and demand in the inner heart muscle, offering insights into cardiac function under stress.
	Pulse Pressure Amplification (PPA)	The increase in amplitude of arterial pulse waves as they travel from central to peripheral arteries, providing insights into arterial stiffness and blood flow efficiency.	P
	Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV)	The speed at which the arterial pulse travels through the circulatory system, a key indicator of arterial stiffness.
	SphygmoCor Reference Age	Estimates arterial age based on central pressure and arterial stiffness parameters, providing a reference for comparison with healthy individuals.	P	P
	Spot check at point-of-care or home	Monitoring conducted directly where the patient is, whether it's in a clinic or at home.
	Ambulatory Monitoring	Continuous observation and recording of physiological parameters, typically outside of a clinical setting, allowing for data collection during normal daily activities.
