First in man 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).
