Measurement of arterial stiffness using a connected bathroom scale: calibration against Sphygmocor

Background: Measurement of arterial stiffness (AS) is still considered difficult. We developed a non-invasive technique to assess AS from a connected bathroom scale, based on ballistocardiography (BCG) and impedance plethysmography (IPG).
