Problem
Effective hypertension management requires frequent and convenient blood pressure monitoring, but traditional methods are often cumbersome and limited to clinical settings. This makes it difficult for individuals to track blood pressure fluctuations in real-time and adjust lifestyle or medication accordingly.
Solution
CART BP offers a wearable ring that continuously monitors blood pressure using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. The ring leverages embedded sensors to capture PPG data, which is then analyzed using proprietary deep-learning algorithms to provide accurate blood pressure readings. By enabling continuous, real-time monitoring in everyday settings, CART BP empowers users to identify specific times when their blood pressure rises or falls, facilitating proactive lifestyle adjustments and more effective medication management. The device also supports convenient and accurate nocturnal blood pressure monitoring without disrupting sleep.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with hypertension, those at risk of developing hypertension, and healthcare providers seeking tools for remote patient monitoring and improved blood pressure management.
