TORONTO, ON /March 6, 2023 / AI/ML Innovations Inc. (CSE:AIML)(OTCQB:AIMLF)(FWB:42FB), a company committed to acquiring and advancing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, is pleased to report that its wholly owned subsidiary, Health Gauge Inc., has successfully completed a blood pressure validation study utilizing its best-in-class, wearable health monitoring solution, the “Phoenix”.
Bruce Matichuk, CTO of AI/ML Innovations, and Co-founder of Health Gauge Inc. stated, “This is a significant step forward in the refinement and validation of Health Gauge’s solution. The next objective for us is completion of the FDA verification process, which would make Health Gauge’s Phoenix the only consumer style wearable approved as a Class 2 medical device for blood pressure, and would afford us many significant B2B and direct-to-consumer opportunities.”
SALIENT POINTS FROM THE BLOOD PRESSURE STUDY
- The study results show Health Gauge’s solution to be at or near the benchmark for regulatory certification as a Medical Device.
- Health Gauge’s patented AI technology for cuffless blood pressure estimation was verified in the scientific study performed by the University of Alberta’s ST Innovations. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of machine learning to accurately estimate blood pressure using only Electrocardiogram and Photoplethysmogram data from the Phoenix watch.
| Average of All Study Participants |
After AI Training (mmHg) |
| Systolic pressure (MAE) | 7.20 |
| Systolic (SD) | 6.29 |
| Diastolic pressure (MAE) | 6.20 |
| Diastolic (SD) | 5.16 |
*MAE = Mean Absolute Error (relative to a medical-grade BP cuff)
*SD = Standard Deviation
*mmHg = a measurement used to record blood pressure
- The study supports Health Gauge’s FDA 510k and Health Canada submission processes for clearance as a Class 2 medical device. The STI study demonstrated the efficacy of the Phoenix on a limited user set for estimating blood pressure, while full certification studies will utilize the same protocol with larger participant groups.
In addition to Blood Pressure, the Phoenix also tracks heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep, steps, distance, calories, blood oxygen, temperature and respiratory rate. The Health Gauge platform stores data on a user’s mobile device and synchronizes this data with a cloud server to enable data sharing with health professionals and care teams. Health Gauge offers a full platform for personal health and monitoring with many medical applications in the home, in hospitals and clinics.
