Blend Health Technologies is creating the first cuffless upper-arm wearable device for continuous monitoring of blood pressure using technology developed at Columbia University. The device can accurately measure blood pressure even during everyday motion while being completely unobtrusive. Powered by deep learning and AI analytics, and using inertial sensors, Blend Health Technologies collects and synthesizes motion information and arm pose coordinates to correct errors in blood pressure measurements collected away from the heart level. Using this approach enables early detection of cardiovascular risk and more effective management of hypertension.
