“The pulse reveals the root of both health and disease”
Sushruta Samhita, one of the most important ancient treatises on medicine (1st millennium BCE)
“The wise physician measured the patient's pulse and became aware of his condition”
Rumi (13th Century)
“A man is as old as his arteries.”
Famous British Physician Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689)
Hemodynamic ("Hemo Dynamic" means "Blood Flow") monitoring has a rich history, with references to pulse analysis originating in the 2nd millennium BCE. It became more formalized in the 16th century when physicians first developed tools to measure blood pressure, arterial stiffness and cardiac function.
Over the decades, technology evolved from invasive techniques, such as catheterization, to non-invasive methods, which provide a safer experience for patients. However, these methods are cumbersome, expensive and require a medical technician to operate.
In recent years, advancements in sensor technology, machine learning, and wearable devices have transformed hemodynamic monitoring. These innovations have made it possible to continuously track vital parameters with precision and ease, leading to better health outcomes and patient care. Synapsis is at the leading edge of this field with a combination of advanced sensors, algorithms and software that seamlessly measures hemodynamics and provides precise feedback.
