Finapres NOVA

Continuous, Beat-to-Beat Blood Pressure and Advanced Hemodynamics — Without Invasive Lines

Finapres NOVA captures arterial pressure on a beat-to-beat basis, enabling real-time insight into cardiovascular regulation.
Rather than relying on intermittent measurements, it reveals how blood pressure, cardiac output, and vascular dynamics change moment-to-moment — making it a powerful tool for both controlled research and applied clinical environments.

What The Finapres NOVA Enables

Capture Beat-to-Beat Blood Pressure Changes

Measure arterial pressure continuously, revealing dynamic changes not visible with intermittent methods.

Understand Cardiac Output and Hemodynamics

Derive stroke volume, cardiac output, and vascular resistance from the pressure waveform.

Assess Autonomic Cardiovascular Function

Quantify baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability to study nervous system regulation.

Measure Real-Time Physiological Response

Track cardiovascular responses during posture changes, interventions, and stress conditions.

How Finapres Works

Finapres uses a finger cuff and validated modelling techniques to continuously measure arterial pressure and derive cardiovascular parameters in real time.​

A Dynamic Finger Cuff

The system maintains constant blood volume in the finger artery by continuously adjusting cuff pressure. This allows arterial pressure to be tracked non-invasively with high fidelity.

Beat-to-Beat Waveform Capture

Each heartbeat is recorded as a full pressure waveform, revealing subtle changes in cardiovascular dynamics that are lost with intermittent measurements.

Model-Based Hemodynamic Analysis

Using validated physiological models, the system translates the pressure waveform into meaningful parameters such as cardiac output, stroke volume, and vascular resistance.

Applications
Finapres NOVA is used in environments where understanding cardiovascular dynamics — not just measuring them — is critical.
In cardiovascular physiology research, it enables detailed analysis of cardiac output, vascular resistance, and blood pressure regulation.
In autonomic testing, it provides the resolution needed to quantify baroreflex function and nervous system control during protocols such as tilt and active stand.
In applied and clinical research, it captures real-time responses to exercise, stress, and interventions — helping bridge controlled studies with real-world physiology.
