Imonitha ye-blood pressure ye-Aktiia engu-24/7 iqoqa ngokuzenzakalelayo idatha engaphezu kuka-100x futhi inokusebenzelana okungaphezu kuka-10 kwezinye iziqapha zomfutho wegazi.3 Inzwa ye-Aktiia yokubona esihlakaleni ilinganisa isihlakala ubusuku nemini, ihlinzeka ngedatha engabukwa ngokushesha kuhlelo lokusebenza lweselula futhi kalula kwabelwane nodokotela noma ilungu lomndeni. I-Aktiia's 24/7 Blood Pressure Monitor isivele iyitholile i-CE Mark njengethuluzi lezokwelapha Le-Class Iia futhi okwamanje iyatholakala ukuze ithengiswe emazweni ayisikhombisa kulo lonke elaseYurophu. Kuze kube manje, amashumi ezinkulungwane zamayunithi asetshenziswa futhi ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-20 ezifundwayo zithwetshuliwe. Ideshibhodi entsha kadokotela edidiyelwe emtholampilo yakwa-Aktiia, eyethulwa e-Europe entwasahlobo ka-2021, izovumela ithimba lezokwelapha ukuthi lisebenze ngendlela emangalisayo ekuxilongeni umfutho wegazi ophezulu ezigulini, ekuqapheni nasekulawuleni.
E-United States, cishe amaphesenti angu-50 abantu abadala, cishe abantu abayizigidi ezingu-116, banomfutho wegazi ophezulu. Kulaba, kufika ku-75% abawulawulanga umfutho wabo wegazi. Izinga lokulawula liya liba libi kakhulu, ngenxa yengxenye yokusebenzelana kwesiguli okuphansi kanye nokuntuleka kwedatha ephelele ukuze odokotela bahlole kahle futhi baphathe iziguli zabo. Lolu bhubhane oluqhubekayo lwe-hypertension luyimbangela yokuqala yezehlakalo ezinkulu zenhliziyo njengesifo senhliziyo nokushaywa unhlangothi, futhi luholela ekufeni okungadingekile okungaphezu kwengxenye yesigidi minyaka yonke e-US kuphela. Indlela ye-Aktiia ezenzakalelayo isusa umthwalo wesiguli wansuku zonke wezilinganiso ze-cuff futhi yenza iziguli nodokotela bazo bashintshe ukugxila kwabo ekuthuthukiseni impilo yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi ngokusebenzisa nokuqapha izinguquko, kunokuba bazabalaze ukuthola izilinganiso ezidingekayo ukuze baqonde isimo sangempela sesiguli.
Isixazululo se-Aktiia sithuthukisa ukusebenzelana kwesiguli, ngabasebenzisi bamanje abahlola umfutho wegazi wabo ngokwesilinganiso izikhathi ezingu-15 kuya kwezingu-20 ngeviki, uma kuqhathaniswa nezikhathi ezingu-1 kuya kwezingu-2 ngamakhafu omfutho wegazi ovamile. Ama-Cuffs adinga ukuthi isiguli siphazamise usuku lwaso, kuyilapho isixazululo se-Aktiia sibangela ngokuzenzakalelayo ukufundwa okungu-150 ngesonto ezindaweni eziningi zomzimba, kuyilapho siphapheme futhi silele. Yilona kuphela ikhambi elikwazi ukukala “isikhathi sobubanzi” besiguli – iphesenti lesikhathi umfutho wegazi waso ungaphakathi kwebanga elinempilo. Ucwaningo olukhulu lwakamuva lubonise ukuthi lapho isiguli sihlala ngokungaguquguquki esigabeni saso somfutho wegazi esihlosiwe, anciphisa amathuba okuhlaselwa yinhliziyo nokushaywa unhlangothi.
Abasunguli abambisene ne-Aktiia bachithe iminyaka engu-17 bethuthukisa ubuchwepheshe bayo bokushintsha igeyimu, osebuqinisekiswe ezifundweni eziningi zomtholampilo. Imiphumela yocwaningo lomtholampilo olubalulekile lwe-Aktiia iye yabuyekezwa kontanga futhi yanyatheliswa kumajenali ahlonishwa kakhulu, okuhlanganisa “Imvelo” kanye “Nokuqapha Umfutho Wegazi.” Ngaphezu kokugunyazwa ochwepheshe abaphambili ekulawuleni umfutho wegazi ophakeme, u-Aktiia manje usephinde abe nguzakwethu osemthethweni we-International Society of Hypertension kanye ne-World Heart Foundation. Ngokunemba osekufakazelwe kakade, i-Aktiia inezinye izivivinyo zomtholampilo eziyisishiyagalolunye eziqhubekayo, ezigxile ekuboniseni umthelela womtholampilo wesixazululo sayo.
Manje, i-Aktiia iza e-United States ngocwaningo oluyingqopha-mlando olwenziwe ne-Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), isibhedlela esiyi-10 esiphezulu sezifo zenhliziyo esinomtholampilo we-hypertension oqanjwe kakhulu emhlabeni. Uhlelo lwe-BWH's Remote Hypertension Programme luneziguli ezingaphezu kuka-3,000 ezibhalisiwe kuze kube manje, futhi lubonise ukuthi ukuqapha okungaguquguquki kangakanani ekhaya nokungenelela kwedijithali kungaholela ekuthuthukisweni okumangalisayo kumazinga okulawula kuyo yonke isibalo sabantu seziguli ezinomfutho wegazi ophakeme. I-Aktiia ixhasa ucwaningo lwe-COOL-BP (i-Continual vs. Occasional Long-Term BP) ngaphakathi kwe-Remote Hypertension Programme, oluzoqhutshwa uDkt. Naomi Fisher, Uprofesa Ohlanganyele Wezokwelapha e-Harvard Medical School kanye noMqondisi we-BWH's Hypertension Service, kanye umeluleki nomeluleki we-Aktiia.
Amaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nesishiyagalolunye abanikazi abagqokekayo angathanda ukuthi udokotela wabo akwazi ukusebenzisa idatha2, kodwa okugqokwayo okukhona kwabathengi kubonakale kukhungathekisa iziguli nodokotela ngokufanayo. “Izingubo ezigqokwayo zabathengi ngokuvamile azikho ukuqinisekiswa okwanele okushicilelwe, azihlinzeki ngemininingwane yomtholampilo engasebenza, futhi azihlanganisi ekuhambeni komsebenzi wethu womtholampilo. I-Aktiia iqinisekiswe kabanzi futhi ithenjwa yizo zombili iziguli nodokotela ukuthi isetshenziswe njengesisekelo sezinqumo zezokwelapha, "kusho isikhulu sezokwelapha sase-Aktiia u-Jay B. Shah, uMqondisi Wezokwelapha we-Thoracic Aortic Diseases eMayo Clinic kanye nobuhlakani be-Mayo Alix School. Wemithi.
