BPro® EVBP® Technology
BPro incorporated a patented technology termed as Modified Applanation Tonometry. This technology is coined as EVBP technology. EVBP stands for Evidence-Based Blood Pressure. Tonometry was first used for the measurement of pressure in the eyeballs. BPro ABPM device implements the measurement at the radial artery of the wrist. |
With the above features,
a non-invasive reliable and accurate radial pulse wave is acquired. |

Wrist Cross Section
The figure above shows the cross section of the wrist. BPro is secured to the wrist by means of a wrist strap, similar to a watch in application. Sensor Plunger
The sensor plunger impinges upon the radial artery over the radius bone. The patented plunger system design is hemispherical in profile, and transfers pressure forces efficiently to the internal pressure sensor and provides a safe, comfortable patient interface. |
Wrist Strap System
The wrist strap system is specially designed to ensure that the sensor system mounted comfortably on the radial artery position. At the same time, together with the sensor housing, it provides constant applanation to the artery without compromising the comfort of the wearer. The strap system also takes into consideration in allowing for venous return at both the watch head and housing, and also avoiding any median nerve compression. |

BPro Device Description
The BPro device is a non-invasive pulse wave acquisition system using modified applanation tonometry to acquire reliable and accurate real time arterial radial pulse waves. By using the captured data, BPro with its ease of use and integrated application software packages has the potential to make real time 24-hour ABPM and arterial pulse wave measurement the standard of medical care for the early health management of hypertension and related illnesses. |
