Leman Micro Devices: World-first Clinical Trial Proves Cuffless Mobile Device Sensor and App Measures Blood Pressure With Same Accuracy as Cuff-based Machines
Leman Micro Devices’ e-Checkup system has successfully completed a world-first clinical trial and proven it is the only completely cuffless and calibration-free sensor and app capable of measuring blood pressure with the accuracy demanded for medical use.
Hypertension (high blood pressure) kills over 10 million people per year. Many people do not know they have it because diagnosis and monitoring require an expensive and cumbersome automatic cuff or repeated checks by a doctor. e-Checkup and its small V-Sensor, which costs only a few dollars, have been developed and industrialised by LMD to be built into a mobile phone or into a wearable or a pocket monitor connected to a phone by Bluetooth and the app on the phone analyses the measurements from the sensor to deliver a clinically-accurate personal blood pressure measurement in under 60 seconds.
The clinical trial was conducted by SVS Medical College in Mahabubnagar, India, a country with a high incidence of hypertension and a large rural population with limited access to a doctor. The trial adhered to the internationally recognised ISO 81060-2 standard that sets the requirements for automatic blood pressure monitors used by hospitals, doctors and consumers. It found that e-Checkup fully complied with all the criteria of the standard.
Dr K. Saumya, Principal Investigator for the trial, said “This device will be a real life-saver in India. It is small and affordable and will alert people to the need to consult a doctor about their blood pressure before they have symptoms and before it gives rise to awful consequences such as stroke, kidney damage, heart attack or blindness”.
Mark-Eric Jones, CEO of LMD added: “We would like to thank SVS for its careful and professional conduct of this trial which will underpin our work to bring this accessible and affordable medical device to global markets. This landmark trial proves that our patented, unique technology makes accurate, life-saving measurements. No other portable device in the world can measure blood pressure without a cuff, either to make the measurement or to calibrate the device frequently.”

Armis Streamlines Network and Security Operations by Utilizing Keysight’s Application Fusion Platform18.11.2025 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, and Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced that Armis’ cyber exposure management technology will now run directly on the Keysight Vision E1S network packet brokers, with additional models expected to support Application Fusion in the future. Through the Application Fusion interface, Armis’ technology can now run directly on the Keysight network packet brokers, combining network visibility with continuous cyber exposure management and security capabilities. By providing immediate, actionable insights across the entire network, without the need for additional hardware, security teams can respond to threats faster, proactively reduce risk and increase operational efficiency. “Businesses must see and secure every asset in their environment to effectively protect against today’s evolving threats,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder at Armis. “Using both network visibility and security with cyber exposure managemen
Parse Biosciences Announces FFPE-compatible Barcoding Technology for Whole Transcriptome Single Cell Analysis18.11.2025 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Parse Biosciences, the leading provider of scalable and accessible single cell sequencing solutions, today announced a breakthrough technology that unlocks the full potential of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. By enabling whole transcriptome capture from archived tissues at single cell resolution, this innovation opens new possibilities for discovery in oncology, translational research, and precision medicine. The use of FFPE samples for single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has traditionally been limited to profiling a predefined list of genes due to RNA degradation and fragmentation, reducing transcriptome coverage and discovery potential. Parse’s breakthrough overcomes these challenges with a novel split-pool combinatorial barcoding method that enables true transcriptome-wide scRNA-seq of FFPE-preserved tissues through its unique RNA capture chemistry. This advancement allows researchers to analyze thousands to millions of cells from hundreds of samples simultaneo
KP Labs and Frontgrade Gaisler Join Forces to Advance Fault-Tolerant Computing for Next-Generation Space Missions18.11.2025 15:00:00 EET | Press release
KP Labs, a European Leader in delivering autonomous systems for space applications and Frontgrade™ Gaisler Technologies, a leading provider of high-reliability electronic solutions for space and national security missions have signed a Memorandum of Understanding during the Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen, Germany. The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration in developing and validating advanced on-board computing architectures designed to increase the autonomy and resilience of future space missions. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251118359687/en/ As satellite operators and mission designers increasingly rely on on-board data processing and autonomy, maintaining fault tolerance and reliability has become a critical priority. To meet these demands, modern spacecraft integrates radiation-hardened components and advanced FDIR (Fault Detection, Isolation and Recovery) systems that ensure stable oper
ACE Fiber uses Adtran’s Mosaic One Clarity AI solution for proactive assurance, faster resolution and fewer truck rolls18.11.2025 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Adtran today announced that ACE Fiber, the broadband subsidiary of Mississippi’s ACE Power, is using its Mosaic One Clarity solution, built on the REAL AI platform, to move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive assurance across ACE Fiber’s expanding network. Mosaic One Clarity consolidates network and in-home data, identifies likely root causes and provides guided actions that help teams resolve issues faster and avoid unnecessary site visits. By detecting early signs of fiber performance issues and showing which subscribers are affected, Mosaic One Clarity enables more right-first-time resolutions. Early results show up to 75% fewer trouble tickets in the first month, reducing operational strain and improving customer satisfaction. “Our goal was simple – stop reacting and start preventing,” said Sean M. McGrath, GM and CEO of ACE Fiber. “With Adtran’s Mosaic One Clarity, we can anticipate issues and resolve them before they disrupt service. That shift means fewer on-site visits,
Sharjah Emerges as a Global Hub for Medical Innovation and Collaborative R&D18.11.2025 14:55:00 EET | Press release
