Key Takeaways
- Researchers used optical and motion signals from a consumer smartwatch to estimate hypertension risk.
- The model was trained on nearly 500,000 hours of data from 2,109 people.
- Validation against 24-hour ambulatory monitoring found sensitivity comparable to office screening.
- The approach is a screening tool and does not replace cuff-based diagnosis.
