About
SenseOF GmbH, founded in 2009, Basle, Switzerland, is a medical device development company that intends to design, patent, and market medical devices related to new methods of measuring blood pressure and other blood flow parameters by analyzing the fluid-borne sounds created by Small-scale turbulence in the blood flow, allowing avoiding and preventing heart attack disease and strokes. Approximately 100 years have passed since the legendary development by the Italian Riva Rocci to measure blood pressure by an upper arm cuff with the mercury manometer and since the first description of sound phenomena above the brachial artery by the Russian Korotkoff during upper arm compression. At present, this method has been established worldwide as the standard for non-invasive blood pressure measurement. However, new technical developments have resulted in a silent revolution of blood pressure monitoring in clinical and home use and have even been incorporated in important clinical studies. The specific influence of the measurement method on reading accuracy has not, however, been sufficiently perceived and taken into account. For years physicians have been searching for an alternative to the stethoscope and Cuff for the physical exam of blood pressure. Existing ultrasound systems, even so called portable systems consumed too much power, were too expensive and were too large to be carried by physicians. SenseOF team found a solution by creating the world's only affordable, simple to use, palm-sized device that everyday people can carry everywhere and anywhere, the SenSCAN Blood Pressure Device...
