Performance Because the Aktiia system is not intended to be used only for a single measurement, but to repeatedly measure the BP of a user over the long-term, it is also important that the device provides a reliable representation of BP over time. The results of a subject-level analysis that included all the data collected over the one-week study period found that the device error for systolic BP is within 10 mm Hg for 85% of users and for diastolic BP within 10 mm Hg for 75% of users.
