Continuously Monitor Blood Pressure without a Cuff #Wearables

Article excerpt

The University of Utah shares how a team of mathematicians and engineers developed a new wearable smartwatch that can measure the electrical properties of blood, monitoring blood pressure without the need of a cuff. Blood pressure is a key metric of cardiovascular health, but standard methods for measuring it rely on occasional readings using inflatable cuffs, usually in a clinical setting. Today’s blood pressure monitors are bulky, uncomfortable and only give readings while you’re sitting still.
