AbstractWearable health monitoring is a multibillion-dollar industry. But the holy grail is probably getting it right for blood pressure monitoring without a cuff, because raised blood pressure is very common and the leading cause of death in the world.

Delighted to be part of a very relevant paper led by Sonali Gnanenthiran and Anthony Rodgers on novel long-acting #bloodpressure lowering therapies - interesting times ahead if they can all show efficacy, tolerability also need to be scalable. https://t.co/14FjidFhJH https://t.co/Jl4lYRxoJw
We already have very effective (and overall affordable) medications for #hypertension available - 'drugs don't work in people who don't take them'. #Nonadherence @ISHBP @HypertensionAus https://t.co/ZeRWZ3qaDw https://t.co/QjsqId8VEu
Delighted to have worked with @DrEugeneYang @DaichiShimbo @Ian_Kronish et al on this review of #cuffless #bloodpressure devices. Very exciting developments, but for now we recommend to not use cuffless devices until accuracy and clinical usefulness were shown. @ISHBP @AHAScience
Cuffless blood pressure (BP) devices face accuracy and regulatory challenges but hold potential for improving BP control if these issues are resolved. https://t.co/TfBk19OVHc @ycommodore
