I'll bet blood pressure readings throughout the day will be analogous to the data we get from CGMs (continuous glucose monitors). You get lots of spikes during the day.
Given enough data pairing continuous blood pressure with major events like heart attacks and strokes, we may even develop more accurate models to predict which types of spikes create the most cardiovascular risk.
- corry 2y agoTotally agree, although perhaps the real gift of this technology will be from the fact that people can be more aware of the underlying conditions (high BP) and tighter feedback loops on how to reduce it / manage it vs. just helping notify about an acute emergency situation. As I typed the above sentence out, I thought "why not both?". Use the technology to reduce your risk, but in the event that the bad event still happens the notification could save your life.
