Project description

This project aims to build a tonometer system that will not only be used by clinical specialists (cardiologists and angio liquors), but at a later stage also by GPs. The ART.PRESS GP meter aims to visualize the Aix and PWV output parameters to the user, and completes the measuring device by a 6-lead ECG to diagnose heart. The same high-quality measurement is offered as with the existing ART.PRESS I, but at a greatly reduced cost (3.6 times cheaper) and with a more limited set of functionality.
