Project description
Innovative algorithm for aortic blood pressure measurement using home care devices
Germany-based Redwave Medical is a developer of innovative algorithms for diagnostic devices in the field of heart and artery diseases. The current focus is on central (aortic) blood pressure (cBP). The company’s new oscillometric solution measures cBP using any regular BP monitor with the innovative Antares algorithm. The algorithm is based on pulse wave analysis, which has already been introduced in clinics and specialised practices. This solution enables people with hypertension to measure their cBP using regular home care devices. The EU-funded Redwave project’s objectives are the validation of the business model, the assessment of the technical viability, and the market study for the identification of potential customer segments in Europe.
Objective
Redwave is a breakthrough oscillometric solution which measures cBP, by combining a regular homecare BP monitor, with an algorithm, which uses the oscillating pressure curves of any BP monitor conducted in inflating and deflating process as input signals without any changes in the pumping protocol or in the hardware. The algorithm is based on an advanced development of Pulse Wave Analysis, a method already used in clinics and specialized practices which is matching the requirements e.g. in robustness and accuracy, of the non-controlled environment as it typically exists in home care measurements. For this reason, it enables the measurement of cBP in home care devices for the first time. It is the only solution which can be operated in a standard BP monitor without applying any changes to the BP monitor, because it detects the relevant information within the existing signal and processes this information.
End users of the solution are people suffering from hypertension: they need a solution to help them manage their condition: in Europe, there are approximately 85M potential users of the solution.
After receiving requests to use the algorithm in medical cohort trials, Redwave has a clear route to market entry by the end of 2018.
The company is also aiming to increase its product portfolio with another algorithm for wrist BP devices by 2019, as it wants to continue developing R&D actions. From these efforts, new market opportunities will be assessed as the company's goal is to develop an entire family of algorithms around one core, which can be used in various devices and provide a variety of medical parameters to the users.
