Impress Medtech develops a technology for continuous blood pressure monitoring during surgery. Impress technology works with electrodes placed on the patient’s chest. Blood pressure values on a beat-to-beat basis result from impedance measurements of the thorax complemented with upper-arm cuff measurements for calibration.
With Impress this feature will be available for a large variety of operations but also in geographical regions that still need to catch up in health care standards.
The method requires virtually no training for medical personnel, has hardly any limitations and is unbeatable with respect to cost-efficiency. The company seeks to set an international standard from which users, patients, and the public health system as a whole may equally benefit due to better operation results, shorter convalescence, and lower costs.
