Coming Soon! A Wearable Skin Patch To Track Your Blood Pressure, Heart Health

A new wearable ultrasound patch that noninvasively monitors blood pressure in arteries deep beneath the skin could help people detect cardiovascular problems earlier and with greater precision. The patch was tested on a male subject, who wore it on the forearm, wrist, neck and foot. Tests were performed both while the subject was stationary and during exercise. Recordings collected with the patch were more consistent and precise than recordings from a commercial tonometer.
