New 24hour blood pressure monitor wristwatch  0 Comments

Published Monday, May 15, 2006 by Harry SK Tan |

 

It just reported a few days ago in the Straits Times that the a Singapore inventor working with HealthSTATS International has developed and obtained US FDA approval - for what looks like an ordinary casio digital wristwatch - with a 24hour blood pressure monitor.
Medical studies have shown that it is far more accurate to have 24-hour blood pressure monitoring rather than a single blood pressure reading. The watch has also met European and American standards for blood pressure measurement.
The watch keeps constant tabs on a person's blood pressure, but does away with the cumbersome cuffs used in conventional monitors. Patients wear the device like a normal watch, and take it to the centre to have their blood pressure patterns analysed, including peaks and dips when they occur.
The company, has reported that it has produced the special watch for gongfu superstar Jackie Chan and his father, said that he is also in the process of making a special gold one for the Sultan of Brunei.
While there are many multifunctional watches, this new timepiece can be literally be a lifesaver.
