CE-Certified Smartphone Blood Pressure Monitoring by Swiss Company Biospectal

Case Study Biospectal

Swiss start-up Biospectal has introduced OptiBP™, an innovative smartphone app for blood pressure monitoring. Users can measure their blood pressure quickly and conveniently in just 30 seconds by placing their fingertip on the smartphone camera. Developed in collaboration with the Swiss innovation hub CSEM, the technology uses optical biosensing and AI algorithms and meets the strict CE EU-MDR certification standards.

Key Benefits of the App:

  • Accurate, user-friendly blood pressure monitoring anytime, anywhere.
  • Quick and easy sharing of results with doctors and family members.
  • Avoids stress-related inaccuracies caused by the “white coat syndrome.”

Background:
Hypertension affects 1.3 billion people globally and is a leading contributor to heart disease, the most common cause of death worldwide. The app aims to improve early detection and management, reducing health and economic burdens. According to WHO, targeted hypertension management programs are among the most cost-effective healthcare measures.

Technology and Development:
OptiBP is based on over 15 years of research and more than two million clinical measurements. Its accuracy has been validated globally in studies conducted in Switzerland, Belgium, and low-resource settings, with support from organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Future Plans:
Following its launch in Switzerland, Biospectal plans to expand to other European and global markets.



Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Lausanne, Biospectal aims to revolutionize blood pressure monitoring. CSEM, a key partner in the technology’s development, is a renowned innovation center focused on creating impactful technologies for society.
