Overview of commercialized blood pressure monitors and connected sensors
May aid guideline-compliant home BP monitoring; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
Blood pressure is an important measure for monitoring hypertension and other cardiac diseases. Learned societies recommend following specific guidelines when measuring it. With the growing market of connected sensors, also known as the Internet of Things, the general public can be guided in performing a blood pressure measurement in compliance with international recommendations. In this article, we address commercialized blood pressure monitors and discuss how it is possible to improve measurement reliability by combining data from different sources in accordance with guidelines. To this purpose, we investigate the connected sensors market and determine which recommendations can be checked by commercialized sensors to guide users in performing a reliable blood pressure measurement.
