New hardware boasts significant improvements
to reduce noise and generate higher fidelity signals
PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Movano Health Inc. (Nasdaq: MOVE) announced today
that it has tested its newly developed blood pressure wrist
wearable as part of its November
5th and 6th hypoxia clinical
trial that took place at the University of
California, San Francisco. The updated device features an
additional 12 mmWave antennas which together with Movano Health's
custom IC delivers enhanced data collection with less impact of
placement while also featuring a slimmer design, making it easier
and more comfortable to wear. In addition, the new wearable
monitors a host of other vital signs including pulse rate, blood
oxygen saturation (Sp02), respiration rate and ECG
waveforms.
"Our redesigned device is the culmination of months of testing
and refinement, and we are very excited to be able to put it to the
test in the clinical lab," said Movano Health's CTO and Founder
Michael Leabman. "The increased
number of RF antennas, as well as the addition of new signals for
enhanced sensor fusion, has resulted in a marked increase in
sensitivity and signal reliability from our previous design and
represents a significant leap forward in cuffless blood pressure
monitoring."
This study follows two clinical trials that took place in
October 2023 and June 2024 where the Company used its non-invasive
device to collect pulse pressure waveforms data from over 50
participants of varying gender, age, ethnicity and BMI. During each
session, participants wore Movano Health's wrist-worn device along
with a hospital-grade FDA-cleared vital signs monitor with cuffed
blood pressure measurements or utilized arterial blood pressure
data as the control. Learnings from these two studies prompted
device enhancements designed to deliver higher fidelity blood
pressure signals and ensure successful clinical results.
