University of Utah Develops Cuffless Wearable for Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring
Researchers from the University of Utah and the University of Illinois, Chicago, have developed a smartwatch prototype capable of continuously monitoring blood pressure without the need for traditional cuffs. This innovative device uses the electrical properties of blood flow to provide accurate readings, offering a more comfortable and convenient alternative to existing blood pressure monitors. The technology, based on physics-informed machine learning, records electrical changes in the wrist using bioimpedance, which reflects blood flow dynamics. The device has been tested on 150 individuals, including patients in intensive care and outpatient settings, demonstrating its potential for real-world healthcare applications.
