In a study of 196 participants, the system detected 65.8% of hypertension cases, achieving sensitivity comparable to traditional office-based blood pressure screening. The technology analyzes pulse waveforms and motion data without requiring a cuff, potentially enabling continuous, passive monitoring for early detection of high blood pressure in everyday settings.Why it mattersHypertension affect
