SMARTSHAPE

Continuous monitoring, personalised control

An innovative solution for long-term continuous blood pressure monitoring

Who we are

Meet SMARTSHAPE

SMARTSHAPE is an EU-funded collaboration between eight European partners, dedicated to creating a novel medical device for hypertension management. Over the next three years (2022-2026), our team will work on an IP-protected and innovative microsensor for continuous blood pressure monitoring.

By developing a medical device that allows patients to monitor their blood pressure levels 24/7, SMARTSHAPE aims to help improve healthcare for people living with hypertension and support the development of personalised – and more effective – diagnostic and treatment plans.

Why SMARTSHAPE

For patients with chronic hypertension

Ultimately, we aim to improve the lives of people living with chronic, uncontrolled hypertension, which is why the patient perspective is crucial to the project. SMARTSHAPE actively collaborates with a Patient Experience Panel, that brings the patients’ voice into the scientific research.

Patient Story Dina
20 Years of New Eyesight

“My story begins 20 years ago during the Christmas holidays. I was visiting my parents in Kentucky. My mother remarked that my eyes looked funny and asked if I was feeling okay. I of course told her that I was fine and was looking forward to Christmas with the Family.” This is how Dina’s hypertension journey starts.
