Curetech’s smartband provides accurate and reliable BP measurement during and after exercise, which is essential for the diagnosis and management of exercise hypertension and is also a challenge for the smartwatches and fitness trackers available in the sports monitoring market today as they lack accuracy when measuring this vital sign while exercising
Curetech E-Health
Evidence
- Research showed that over 10,000,000 athletes are diagnosed with exercise hypertension which leads to deaths, strokes, and disabilities due to athletes not being able to measure their BP while active. To continuously help the trained individuals (athletes) who are at risk of showing higher BP at peak exercise monitor their BP to facilitate the timely detection and control of exercise hypertension, Curetech E-Health created a wearable technology which can constantly monitor BP which can save athletes from becoming hypertensive which increases the risk of coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular disorders (including stroke) later in life.
- Our research study has proven that the Curetech solution is as accurate as accepted reference measurements during exercise.
- Meets ISO81060-2 & ISO-13485 standards
- Medical Device: FDA/CE/Health Canada Class II medical device.
- BP Accuracy: (±3 mmHg) during exercise
- Accurate in multiple body positions
Why Does Exercise Hypertension Matter?
- Exercise hypertension is a condition that causes an extreme spike in blood pressure during physical activity. Athletes with exercise hypertension can experience spikes in systolic BP up to 250 mmHg during exercise, which increases heart disease risks.
- Exercise increases systolic BP. As soon as the athlete’s systolic BP exceeds 200 mmHg, they should stop exercising.
- A heart problem is more likely to occur if their systolic BP exceeds 220 mmHg.
- Diastolic BP shouldn’t change significantly during exercise.
- Continuous monitoring of BP facilitates the timely detection and control of exercise hypertension, which can effectively help treat hypertension.
Why Curetech?
- Comfortable and consumer friendly.
- Less effort to measure blood pressure. Saving time and effort while monitoring BP.
- Simple, easy-to-read display. Fast reading.
- Used for clinical, fitness, and telemedicine apps.
- Exercise hypertension can be continuously monitored remotely with our smartband.
- Medical grade sensors – BP accuracy of ±3 mmHg during exercise, compliant with ISO standards.
- An athlete does not have to worry about BP readings. Plus, there is no need to press a button, sit still, or even be awake to measure BP.
- No inflatable cuff is required for the smartband.
- The BP smartband does not require regular calibration by the BP cuff monitor.
- Compatible with Android and Apple phones.
- Health cost saving
- Enabling cloud computing technology in sports medicine.
Vision & Mission
Mission
Our mission at Curetech is to use data to inform and engage athletes with exercise hypertension and to enable sports medicine specialists to provide more targeted and timely care. By measuring exercise hypertension, our product will save millions of lives worldwide. It's our mission to help athletes live their lives free from hypertension.
Vision
Curetech eHealth's vision is to develop solutions to power the next generation of blood pressure monitoring systems for athletes. Curetech is the only solution on the market that can easily measure blood pressure while exercising.
Wearable Solutions
Curetech eHealth focuses on wearable devices that enable cloud computing technology in sports medicine. Our technological invention is the use of a BP monitor smartband that can provide continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurments with high accuracy during excercise. Unlike the traditional blood pressure monitor cuffs that are complex and don’t offer a continuous remote blood pressure monitoring feature while running, walking, or exercising, our cuffless monitoring solution employs a robust sensor calibration model that can measure blood pressure accurately while in motion.
Our smartband can capture high-quality photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals during and after exercise and deliver data to an IoT edge device (smartphone) for estimating blood pressure that is then transmitted to a sports medicine specialist via the cloud for analysis.
