to causative morbidity, but also mortality. Indeed, of particular note are the
concerns of poor performance of these
systems in sub-populations, such as the
elderly, children and also in pregnancy.

“A series of recent papers has highlighted technical performance issues
with these older systems and also the
limitations of their accuracy and reliability. Hence, there is a clear need for a
better and more accurate, more robust,
versatile technology to be made available
within this critical field of medicine - not
just from the view of experts, but also

has created a pioneering platform from
which further technological advances in
haemodynamic profiling may be realised
and thus improve the management of an
array of medical conditions." n
