Key result
In a survey of 1,071 adults, 93.9% successfully self-calibrated their smartwatch for blood pressure monitoring and 93% planned weekly use, though only 31.8% perceived it as highly accurate.
Why the study?
Recent advances in wearable devices enable cuffless BP monitoring in daily life, but its feasibility, credence, and usefulness required evaluation.
Is cuffless blood pressure monitoring using a smartwatch application feasible and perceived as useful in the general population?

Is cuffless blood pressure monitoring using a smartwatch application feasible and perceived as useful in the general population?
Cuffless blood pressure monitoring using a smartwatch is highly feasible and widely adopted by middle-aged individuals, including those with hypertension, though perceived accuracy remains a limitation requiring further technological improvement.

Supports feasibility of smartwatch BP monitoring in adults; leaves open accuracy validation before clinical adoption.
Jang et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in General population / Hypertension (n=1,071). Cuffless blood pressure monitoring using a smartwatch was evaluated on User experience, feasibility, and perceived accuracy of smartwatch blood pressure monitoring. In a survey of 1,071 adults, 93.9% successfully self-calibrated their smartwatch for blood pressure monitoring and 93% planned weekly use, though only 31.8% perceived it as highly accurate.
