ECG, electrocardiogram. aThe differentiation of postures between sitting upright and standing upright based only on the data acquired by SimpleSense (Nanowear Technologies, Brooklyn, NY) during that time interval is not currently possible, given that the posture is sensed on the chest. However, the device measures activity and posture, and activity reflects the transition between postures. bIn an observational multisite study by Nanowear, 120 subjects (female (N = 61, 52%) between 18 and 83 years of age were recruited with the following stratification: normal, 20%; prehypertensive, 37%; Stage 1, 26%; and Stage 2, 18%. From these subjects, 1686 measurements of blood pressure from a sphygmomanometer were associated with simultaneously acquired vital signs from the SimpleSense device (Nanowear Technologies, Brooklyn, NY). A proprietary machine-learning–based algorithm called SimpleSense-BP (Nanowear Technologies, Brooklyn, NY) was developed with inputs as metrics derived from the multiparametric data, such as intensity and duration of S1 and S2 heart sounds, the time elapsed between ECG waveforms such as R peaks and these characteristic heart sounds, and patient demographic data, to calculate systolic and diastolic blood pressure.1
