Further, they address the issues associated with so-called "white coat syndrome" – skewed physiological and cognitive tests due to the stress and anxiety associated with a clinical visit. Measurements can be made unobtrusively over an extended period in a supportive home environment that more accurately reflect the true values for a given parameter.
