Measurement Technology with Universal Benefits — Win-win for doctors and patients
VASCASSIST opens up options for the prevention and cure of cardiovascular diseases that medical professionals and patients could previously only dream of.
Measurement technology with universal benefits
A win-win for doctors and patients
Vascular measurement with VASCASSIST has many advantages — for physicians and patients alike. With the help of Model-based Pulse Wave Analysis (mbPWA), drawing on patient data determined individually in the arterial tree, physicians benefit from a revolutionary improvement in their previous diag
For patients, using VASCASSIST means that they can be informed at an amazingly early stage about possible diseases of the heart and arteries as part of a preventive cardiovascular measurement. In addition, because the measured values are often not yet clinically relevant at an early stage, patients can often minimize or eliminate disease risks in the first place.
For doctors
Comprehensive diagnostics — targeted management of prevention and therapy
Model-based Pulse Wave analysis brings with it a significant facilitation of the entire daily medical diagnosis and treatment routine.
- Diagnosis before manifestation and clinical relevance of pathological cardiovascular changes
- Repeated control measurements make intervention effects and treatment successes easier for patients to detect than ever before
- Graphic visualization of pulse curves and determined arterial age facilitate diagnostic clarification
- Potential for higher compliance and patient satisfactionOptimizing day-to-day patient care for specialists and general practitioners
- Revolution of the everyday use of central blood pressure measurement in a wide variety of areas, such as research (e.g., individually tailored, more effective therapies)
Precision and everyday usability
The novel measurement methodology based on artificial intelligence enables the determination of central and peripheral blood pressure values with unprecedented precision. By overcoming common hurdles, Model-based Pulse Wave Analysis (mbPWA) is superior to conventional measurement methods.
| Conventional measurement methods, based on auxiliary parameters |
KI-assisted pulse wave analysis. with VASCASSIST |
|---|---|
| Insufficient accuracy and low traceability due to circuitous, indirect determination | Highest precision and conclusiveness of knife results due to direct readability in the personalized arterial tree model |
| Typically unilateral and without repeat measurements | Bilateral, automatic repeat measurements |
| Measurement can be performed by qualified personnel only | Uncomplicated, flexible (pre)programmable, and thus delegable measurement |
| Operator dependent (operator dependant) | Operator independent |
| Susceptibility to artifacts and arrhythmias | Algorithm cleans measurement data from artifacts and arrhythmias |
For patients
Timely diagnosis — better prognosis
Thanks to early information about their cardiovascular status and individual risk profile, patients can proactively contribute to staying healthy and thus control the course of a disease to a large extent autonomously. Once the results are available, it is ideally sufficient to integrate individually tailored medical recommendations for health-promoting lifestyle adjustments into everyday diet and exercise and follow through consistently.
Cardiovascular diseases are detected by VASCASSIST at such an early stage that they are still largely asymptomatic and reversible. Early certainty about a possible risk of myocardial infarction or stroke gives patients room for maneuvering to favorably influence abnormalities of their respective vascular systems purely through their initiative.
If treatment is necessary, timely diagnosis has a tangible impact on future quality of life and the further course of the disease. For example, suppose constrictions in the arm and leg arteries are detected during screening for peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAVD). Patients can achieve a great deal through their initiative (primarily targeted cardiovascular training). On the other hand, suppose there are already symptoms in the affected extremities (occurring mainly in the legs). In that case, the worst can be prevented by immediate interventions — the same applies to the chance of averting the danger of impending (cardio)vascular occlusion or, at the worst, amputation.
