Scientists invented mobile phone casing to measure blood pressure? -part 1

According to The Verge, a new smartphone accessory makes it easy for people to measure blood pressure without using air bags to squeeze their arms. It is unclear whether this technology can be used practically, but if it is implemented, it can help more people, especially those in developing countries, to check whether they are at risk of heart disease.

This device was described in a research report published in the journal Science Translational Medicine on Wednesday, which consists of a 3D printed shell connected to the back of a smartphone. Professor Ramakrishna Mukkamala, a professor at the Michigan State University’s School of Engineering, co-developed a new smartphone accessory that allows people to easily measure blood pressure. Mukkamala said that the device has been tested on only a few people and it is not yet possible to confirm whether the measurement results are completely accurate. In addition, researchers have licensed the technology to a company called Digitouch Health. According to this study, the application can measure blood pressure when one presses a button sensor with a finger.

Hypertension can cause stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. But measuring blood pressure is very difficult. However, the process of measuring blood pressure is not convenient. Therefore, scientists have been trying to create portable devices so that blood pressure can be easily measured many times a day. Of course, you can also wear some professional equipment, such as smart wristband bracelet that can detect and monitor heart rate and blood pressure all the times and it will offer you a very overall health report. Recommended brands are like Xiaomi and HUAWEI. If you need good therapy every once in a while, you can definitely use your smartwatch. If you need a moment of zen, simple deep breath every now and then, or just do eyestrain exercise, your smartwatch will remind you to do it at the right times.
