Valencell, Inc. - founded in 2006 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.
Valencell’s proven inventions, proprietary sensor technology, and algorithms can be found in tens of millions of wearable and hearable devices, in over 90 products, for companies such as Samsung, Suunto, Bose, Jabra, Huawei, and Sony. While Valencell was established as a technology provider in consumer sports and fitness wearables, its foundational technology has the potential to realize the dream of seamless chronic disease management through easy-to-use, high-compliance digital health solutions.
As the company whose optical heart rate technology enabled the ability of wearables to accurately measure cardiovascular vitals during exercise, Valencell is launching its own branded product line in the digital health sector under the name Valencell Health as it concentrates efforts to bring solutions to market to manage chronic diseases. The company’s first product candidate is the Fingertip™ Blood Pressure Monitor*, focused on helping people spot-check measure BP and manage hypertension by combining an intuitive app with an innovative over-the-counter device to accurately measure blood pressure (BP) from the finger without a cuff or calibration.
Meeting Demands Under Pressure
Valencell Health’s first chronic disease management solution aims to help those with hypertension better and more regularly measure blood pressure and adhere to treatment.
The FingertipTM BPM device has been engineered to measure blood pressure in less than one minute using a small probe on the middle finger without the need for bulky or painful cuffs. Photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors within the device use reflected light to measure blood flow patterns. Proprietary AI algorithms, developed from more than 20,000 PPG datasets comprising more than 10,000 patients, are used to process this information with physical characteristics (age, weight, height, and biological sex) to calculate a blood pressure measurement. Diastolic and systolic results are then displayed on the device’s built-in screen and transmitted via Bluetooth® to the app.
Unlike other technologies, the Fingertip™ Blood Pressure Monitor does not need to be calibrated to a BP cuff, a capability that has so far eluded the industry. Valencell’s solution is expected to be the world’s first over-the-counter, cuffless and truly calibration-free blood pressure monitor in a fingertip form factor, with the company targeting FDA Clearance in late 2024.
Although the device has been designed as a stand-alone blood pressure monitor, it has the potential to become a powerful tool to help manage hypertension when paired with its connected app. The easy-to-use mobile app has been designed to track and store readings and allow users to set reminders to take their blood pressure. Users will also have the ability to view trends over time, track the frequency of their measurements, and download and share data.
Blood pressure measurement will change more in the next 5 years than it has in the last 100. Be part of the future of cuffless, calibration-free BP with Valencell's FingertipTM BPM.
