Valencell is developing the world's first cuffless, calibration-free blood pressure monitor at the finger at CES 2023. For over a decade, Valencell has explored using PPG sensors to measure blood flow patterns. This information is then run through an algorithm that calculates the movement against a dataset containing 7,000 patient records. Valencell designed a minimalistic product that fits into the patient's pocket and connects directly to their mobile device. With this new tech, people can capture an accurate reading without the need to keep large equipment with them when they travel.

To start the design process, the team designed low-fidelity wireframes to showcase the app's user experience and flow before creating the final UI design system. Below are a handful of wireframes placed on phone mock-ups. The team finished by bringing all of the final design elements together to create a modern and simple user interface that showcases the exact actions the user needs to complete to collect their reading. Overall, the design is simple, easy to use, and unique to the Valencell device.

Valencell has been breathing life into wearable photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors for over 15 years and is developing accurate blood pressure spot-check measurement via PPG without the need for calibration using a cuff. Not FDA cleared and not for sale in the US, Valencell’s Fingertip™ Blood Pressure Monitor (BPM) solution will use PPG sensors to measure blood flow patterns, plus proprietary AI algorithms developed from PPG datasets comprising thousands of patients, along with physical characteristics (age, weight, height, and biological sex) to calculate a blood pressure measurement. Valencell designed the Fingertip™ BPM to be a minimalistic product that is compact, discreet, and makes it easy to take a blood pressure measurement anywhere, anytime. The device connects directly to their mobile device where the app tracks, records, can remind users to take measurements, as well as allows users to send downloaded data to their healthcare provider. With this new tech, people are not burdened with traditional cuffs that require proper sizing and calibration to provide accurate measurements.
