Key result
Cuffless BP devices support trend monitoring but lack sufficient accuracy to replace validated cuff measurements.
Why the study?
Cuffless BP technologies have expanded rapidly, but clinicians face mixed signals regarding their accuracy, calibration stability, and appropriate clinical use.

Upholds caution on diagnostic use; leaves open need for standardized dynamic validation trials.
Cuffless blood pressure wearables are currently suitable as adjuncts for tracking trends but require confirmation with validated upper-arm cuffs for diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Wehbe et al. (2025) studied this question. Cuffless blood pressure devices can support trend monitoring but should not replace validated methods for diagnosis or treatment decisions due to accuracy concerns.
