Wearable blood pressure monitor for real-time continuous measurement
Korean researchers from Seoul National University have created a skin-adhering electronic patch capable of continuously and non-invasively monitoring blood pressure in real time over extended periods. The innovation challenges traditional methods that rely on bulky, cuff-based monitors, offering a more convenient and patient-friendly alternative.
Unlike conventional cuff-based blood pressure monitors that use an inflatable air bladder to apply pressure to the arm, this new technology continuously measures blood pressure with a compact, flexible electronic patch.
