Cuffless Blood Pressure Study
About Casana:
We’re a medical device company focused on home healthcare. We’ve developed a device called the Heart SeatTM, which is a toilet seat that can measure blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels while you sit on it normally. This study is helping us improve how the Heart Seat measures blood pressure.
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to to develop a way for the Heart Seat to measure blood pressure without needing a traditional blood pressure cuff.

There is free parking at the Waltham lab. (Contact research@casanacare.com if you have questions about bringing this study to a org near you.)

4. You’ll sit on the Heart Seat while we take up to 8 blood pressure readings on both arms simultaneously
5. You’ll receive a $50 digital gift card of your choice for completing the visit
6. You’ll earn a $5 gift card for each person you refer who signs up for the study
