Using Blood Pressure to Regulate Pacemakers
- Current pacemakers are regulated solely by Rate Modulation, changing heart rate according to patient activity estimated by sensors for motion and respiratory activity.
PressurePace™ – Our Proprietary Technology
PressurePace™ is the proprietary technology of BaroPace™ that, for the first time, acquires real-time blood pressure readings from a wearable blood pressure measuring device, processes those readings together with standard pacemaker functions in a smartphone app or similar device, such as a computer tablet, to determine the patient’s optimal heart rate to lower blood pressure to the desired level, and transmits that encrypted command to the patient’s pacemaker to produce a true physiological heart rate response at rest and during exertion. Before PressurePace™ completes a pacemaker reprogramming cycle, another innovation within the PressurePace™ program queries the patient for subjective input (such as “How are you feeling now?”), for the first time allowing the patient to interact with his or her pacemaker control in real-time.
How does it work?
- A wearable blood pressure measurement device wirelessly transmits real-time blood pressure measurements to a BaroPace™ app in a smartphone or smart watch. The app contains patent-pending PressurePace™ technology that determines the patient’s optimal heart rate based on blood pressure and other pacemaker parameters, and wirelessly transmits that instruction to the patient’s pacemaker. The process is repeated twice daily to treat resting hypertension, and as often as every two minutes using a continuous blood pressure measuring device in patients with HFpEF. A cyber-secure connection to the BaroCloud™ facilitates real-time remote medical supervision, including the capability for telemedicine.
- Advanced patent-pending PressurePace™ technology include an Artificial Intelligence component that integrates several physiologic variables in addition to Blood Pressure to better regulate pacemaker function for each individual patient’s needs. Examples of other variables include the type and severity of patient activity, ambient temperature, altitude, medications, and even the time of day.
Our Business Proposition
Relies upon the Transitive Property
Pacemaker companies are in a constant game of leapfrog to develop small, sometimes trivial improvements to their devices to maintain their average system pricing.
