Comparisons of WatchBP Office Central with the high-fidelity intra-arterial reference standard (Study 1).

Data presented as mean ± standard deviation. Pressures are in mmHg. Comparisons refer to the number of individual recordings being compared. There were three fewer participants for the cSBP-WBP comparison, as despite the test device providing an error for cSBP, it reported valid brachial pressures. Adequate tonometry waveforms could not be obtained in three participants.
