Description:
The Biospectal OptiBP is a blood pressure app. Its blood pressure measurement technology has been proven to be accurate, with a 2-star Medaval rating. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the finger. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.
Assessment:
The technology used in the Biospectal OptiBP, to measure blood pressure, has passed in clinical validation studies, in general and specific populations, according to recognised standard protocols, as published in peer-reviewed publications.
Recommendations:
Accuracy AssessmentRecommendationBasis
BP Medaval ★★ Recommendation Recent clinical validation; recent protocol
BP BIHS (UK and IRL) NOT recommended Published evidence

81060-2:2019 n=40 (Note: The sample size of 40 subjects is well below the 85-subjects requirement. Only Criterion 1 results are provided. Distribution requirements according to the protocol are not provided. The SBP SD of 7.7 mmHg is very close to the passing limit of 8 mmHg and no assumtions can be made regarding Criterion 2 or how the algorithm would fare in a full validation.)

ISO validation is claimed but is reported separately for three groups with insufficient respective sample sizes.
