Problem
Hypertension, a leading cause of death globally, often goes undiagnosed or undertreated due to the inconvenience and cost associated with traditional blood pressure monitoring methods. Regular monitoring is critical for effective management, but access to devices and healthcare professionals can be a barrier for many individuals.
Solution
OvidBP offers a video-based blood pressure monitoring system that uses a smartphone, tablet, or PC camera to capture visual markers indicative of blood pressure levels. The captured video is analyzed in the cloud using proprietary algorithms to calculate systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as heart rate. This approach aims to provide an easy-to-use and accessible solution for individuals to monitor their blood pressure from anywhere with a network-connected device. The software eliminates the need for specialized hardware, making blood pressure monitoring as simple as taking a selfie.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals at risk of or diagnosed with hypertension, healthcare providers seeking remote patient monitoring solutions, and organizations focused on improving global health outcomes related to blood pressure management.
