Research

The following papers have been published by/ through MicroMedical, UK who developed the technology to make arterial wave velocity testing through Photopletysmography, the same technology used in the BioClip. Whilst these papers refer to previous trade names of CardioCheck and CardioPulse etc., BioClip is using the same database and algorithms to produce the same results.
