It’s a continuous BP “bracelet” that reads BP via an optical mechanism

Dr Peter Attia strongly endorses it.

It’s not FDA approved yet but approved by Europe’s version of the FDA

Of course the FDA won’t approve it it’s a beneficial device, healthy. But they will allow saw dust aka cellulose and bugs and all kinds of chemicals in the so called food.

I don't see the need to continuously monitor BP. The readings are going to be all over the map. People don't realize what BP can hit during lifting, 4XX/3XX doing squats. This is going to make certain people loose their minds!!

I hear ya!! Lol.

However. I think one of the values here is for more diligent and reliable tracking as well as convenience - similar to CGM’s vs finger pricks for BG levels.

Just an overall more convenient and less “clumsy” technology.

We all know sitting down and even using cuffs properly along with dealing with the inconsistencies and thus a lack of trust between devices are annoying.

But what about the hundreds of millions of people that have BP problems the only time it will go that high is when they are walking to the fridge.

My galaxy watch 6 can do the same thing if I set it on the euro version of the app or something. On mine I have to calibrate it with standard bp readings. I'll try and set it up tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

The Galaxy 6 HR monitor is the most accurate optical one I've used so far, so I'm cautiously optimistic that this will work.
