I find the topic interesting because it also seems to be one of these areas where a metric is being invented with no existing "gold standard", which is a different problem than just validating a new sensor to replace an existing one in the same methodology.

What does it mean to do continuous blood pressure monitoring? Do we have any idea how BP is supposed to behave continuously, when clinical standards are around a random sampling in particular resting postures? And do you have to account for all the fluid movements and pressure changes that happen during activity, with muscles contracting and body parts accelerating?
