Testing wearable blood pressure monitoring for heart health awareness

This 10-year study is testing whether the Aktiia G1 wearable blood pressure monitor — a bracelet that measures your blood pressure continuously throughout the day — can help catch high blood pressure earlier and better predict your risk of heart disease. Researchers will compare people who already use this device with people who don't, across three groups based on their phone type and device ownership.

Many people don't know they have high blood pressure because they only check it occasionally at a doctor's office. This study wants to see if continuous, 24/7 monitoring with a wearable bracelet can catch high blood pressure sooner and help predict future heart problems before they happen.
