How Wearable Blood Pressure Monitors Are Changing Hypertension Care

Hypertension affects nearly half of US adults, yet most people only get their blood pressure checked during a doctor's visit. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how wearable blood pressure monitors — from cuff-based devices to optical sensors — are shifting hypertension management from occasional office readings to continuous, real-world data. They examine the technology behind Aktiia's optical blood pressure monitor, which uses photoplethysmography for calibration-free continuous tracking, and compare it to traditional ambulatory monitoring. The hosts discuss the clinical validation process, the FDA's evolving stance on non-invasive blood pressure wearables, and what this means for primary care, remote patient monitoring, and the trillion-dollar cardiovascular disease market. If you're building in digital health or managing a chronic condition yourself, this episode offers a grounded look at which innovations are real and which are still lab projects. #WearableBloodPressure #Hypertension #Aktiia #DigitalHealth #RemotePatientMonitoring #CardiovascularHealth #FDA #Photoplethysmography #HealthTech #BloodPressureMonitoring #ContinuousMonitoring #Business #Technology #ChronicDiseaseManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HealthInnovation #MedTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
