Overall, this study demonstrates a similar performance of the Aktiia Bracelet compared to auscultation in an elderly population in body positions representative of daily activities. The use of more comfortable, non-invasive, and non-occlusive BP monitors during long periods may facilitate e-health and may contribute to better management of HTN, including diagnosis and treatment of HTN, in the elderly.
