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.
