OptiB is an optical blood pressure monitoring device via a mobile application.
OptiBP™ is developed by Biospectal in partnership with the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM). The product is a mobile application that is a cuffless blood measurement software that uses the built-in smartphone camera to measure blood pressure at the fingertip. This method rectifies the inconvenience and lack of access to traditional blood pressure cuffs, as well as dependencies on additional hardware.
