A 24-Hour Skin Patch That Monitors Blood Pressure: The BioBeat Review
This study shows similar and high agreements between BP measurements obtained using a PPG-based non-invasive cuffless BP device and a cuff-based BP device across sex, BMI, and skin color groups.”
“…the considerably higher sensitivity of wearable sensors can revolutionize clinical trials by enabling earlier identification of abnormal reactions with fewer subjects.” – says the other published on Nature.com.
Pros and Cons and my final verdict
First of all, I liked this device, it was indeed comfortable, I think it has a place in healthcare, and it is filling an important niche. Blood pressure monitoring needs to move towards photoplethysmography-based devices. The price is also okay-ish, it is supposed to be $99, although this info can’t be found on the company’s website.
Pros:
24 hours-long blood pressure monitor with a skin patch(!)comfortable wear and easy set-upcondense and info-rich report
Cons:
skin patch can only be used once – although the sensor is intended for multiple usesavailable info on the official homepage is lacking (or impossibly hard to find), I could neither find the price nor detailed technical specifications
