Riva Health provides a smartphone‑based, cuffless blood‑pressure monitoring platform that uses photoplethysmography and motion sensors with AI‑driven calibration to deliver clinically comparable systolic and diastolic readings. Measurements are encrypted, stored in a HIPAA‑compliant cloud, and accessible via a clinician dashboard and FHIR‑compatible API for integration with EHR systems, supporting continuous at‑home monitoring for patients with hypertension.

Problem
Traditional blood pressure monitoring relies on dedicated cuff devices and periodic clinic visits, which limits the frequency of measurements and creates barriers for patients who need continuous cardiovascular monitoring. Infrequent data collection can delay detection of hypertension trends and impede timely therapeutic adjustments.
Solution
Riva Health offers a smartphone‑based cardiology platform that transforms a mobile device into a cuffless blood‑pressure monitor using built‑in sensors and proprietary signal‑processing algorithms. The app guides users through a brief measurement sequence, captures photoplethysmography and motion data, and applies AI‑driven calibration to generate clinically comparable systolic and diastolic values. All readings are encrypted and stored in a HIPAA‑compliant cloud where a secure web portal provides clinicians with longitudinal trend charts, threshold alerts, and downloadable reports. An open API enables integration with electronic health‑record systems, allowing seamless data flow into existing care workflows. The solution is designed for at‑home use without additional hardware, supporting continuous monitoring and early intervention.
Target Audience
The primary customers are individuals with hypertension or elevated cardiovascular risk who require regular home monitoring, and healthcare providers—primary‑care physicians, cardiologists, and telehealth services—that need reliable remote blood‑pressure data for clinical decision‑making.
