Toss the cuff: A new blood pressure patch is here
BioBeat has developed a skin patch that uses light to measure blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. The patch is designed to provide a more accurate reading than traditional methods, as it can monitor patients continuously for 24 hours, including while they sleep. This could be particularly useful for detecting undiagnosed high blood pressure that only occurs at night. The patch is already available for patients to use. Researchers at UC San Diego are also developing a smaller wearable ultrasound patch that uses soundwaves to track blood pressure.
