CardioScope Gen I


Patented SSOs (suprasystolic, oscillometric) measurement technology is:

Easy to use: As easy as putting on a single blood pressure cuff. Very familiar, little training required, completely non-invasive.

Fast: A typical measurement cycle completes within 60 seconds.

Portable: Light weight unit with battery power.

Accurate: Advanced algorithms provide repeatable measurements and blood pressures surpassing international standards.


How well are you managing cardiovascular health?

  • Cardiovascular disease affects about a third of the population
  • Early detection leads to a better outcome
  • Many conditions have no obvious symptoms
  • What is the best treatment for an individual person being assessed?
