I enjoyed the writing style (maybe it's the mistrust of Windows).
I'm currently wearing a cheap smart-watch (<£20) that I spotted on AliExpress (i.e. Chinese product) that unbelievably records biometrics such as blood pressure and blood lipid profiles. I was mainly curious about the uric acid measurements as I get the occasional attack of gout, but am curious as to whether it actually does measure anything like blood pressure. I've previously compared the blood glucose measurements by getting my diabetic brother (type 1) to wear it and compare it to a pinprick measurement - within 10% which is pretty much useless for medical usage.
- cyanydeez 1y agoI've got an ASUS Vivo watch and it measures a transit pulse index and that's supposed to correlate with blood pressure. It needs to be recalibrated frequently and seems good enough. But when you look at everyone's experience with blood pressure, it actually seems like it's BP that's just not reliable and a better type of measurement would be helpful.
