Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who are scheduled to have an echocardiogram at Tulane Medical Center. Participants will help researchers understand connections between heart measurements and signals from a device that measures blood flow.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may not be able to join if
- I am under 18 years old.
- I have cognitive impairments.
- I cannot wear the Biostrap during the echocardiogram.
- I cannot read, speak, or understand English.

About This Trial
The investigators are aiming to investigate the association between ejection fraction (EF) determined by echocardiography and signals obtained from Photoplethysmography (PPG) in the general population. The investigators are also aiming to investigate the association between blood pressure and signals obtained from PPG in the general population.
Finally, the investigators are also aiming to invest…
