Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) remains significantly underdiagnosed even among high-risk populations particularly in primary care and underserved settings due to the dependency on doppler-based Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) measurements, which is time-consuming, need a trained personnel and specialized equipment. NerveVue is a novel, portable diagnostic system that integrates Photoplethysmography (PPG) and piezoelectric sensors to capture arterial pressure wave form signals from all four limbs simultaneously. Designed for use by low-skill operators, NerveVue enables rapid, infrastructure-light PAD screening suitable for decentralized and outreach environments.
Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter clinical study was conducted involving 299 adults across standard middle- age to older-age ranges. Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) values derived fro.. View more»
