How Wearable Patch Sensors Are Monitoring Blood Pressure Continuously

Episode 65 of The Wearable Tech Podcast explores a breakthrough in continuous blood pressure monitoring using wearable patch sensors. Lucas and Luna discuss how these adhesive devices track systolic and diastolic pressure beat-by-beat, replacing the traditional arm cuff. They examine a 2025 study from UC San Francisco showing that patch sensors detected prehypertensive spikes five days earlier than standard readings in 87% of participants. The hosts also compare the top contenders: Valencell's optical patch, Aktiia's 24-hour monitor, and Samsung's new Photoplethysmography ring. Lucas explains the physics behind pulse transit time measurement, while Luna questions accuracy during exercise and daily life.
