Scientists developed a portable blood pressure monitor watches

American scientists developed a new portable blood pressure monitors, can watch, as worn on the wrist for a few hours or even days, at any time in human blood pressure monitor, and is expected to help identify heart disease and stroke risk, etc. People in the hospital when the blood pressure measurement by health care professionals, may lead to feelings of tension abnormal blood pressure. In addition, the human body at any time in the event of changes in blood pressure, even if the individual can arrive at an accurate measurement results, but also difficult to reflect the operation of the cardiovascular system of the whole situation.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that the need to temporarily block blood flow and then deflated to the traditional blood pressure monitor blood pressure measurement, they developed a new type of blood pressure by monitoring the pulse wave along the arteries of the hand velocity to calculate blood pressure. This blood pressure monitor blood pressure than the average light is much more portable, you can wear like a watch, as its ordinary watch batteries and battery size. Through continuous measurement of blood pressure status, this blood pressure monitor so that doctors can learn more about the wearer's blood pressure changes, to detect abnormal conditions, ultimately it would be possible to use these data to predict the onset of heart disease.

The researchers are of this blood pressure monitor to improve the commercial, hoping to make it more simple and reliable, lower cost. Responsible for leading the study, scientists say, the product is expected to market in 5 years.
