Blood pressure monitoring is critically important for cardiovascular risk management, but its been too difficult to measure for most.

The Hilo Band 24/7 blood pressure wearable changes that. It puts continuous blood pressure monitoring within reach for millions. We believe the at-scale use of this device will help save many, many lives from preventable cardiovascular disease.

When will the Hilo Band device be available in the United States? When will it get FDA approval?

Is the Hilo Band a continuous blood pressure monitor wearable?

Yes. The Hilo Band measures your blood pressure continuously, day and night. It provides you with numerous ways of viewing your data in their app, including on hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis. Depending on your activity level, it will take up to a few dozen measurements per day.

Do you have to use a blood pressure cuff?

Once per month you are required to calibrate the Hilo Band with a blood pressure cuff (provided when you purchase the bracelet). This takes about 5-10 minutes to complete and is done via the Hilo app. Otherwise, it all happens via the bracelet.

How accurate is the Hilo Band blood pressure data?

Extensive validation has been undertaken by Hilo across 5 separate research papers to assure its accuracy and precision.

We run our own, highly rigorous validation protocol in Lausanne, Switzerland at the University Hospital, in their hypertension specialty lab.

Our standard reference is called ‘double auscultation’. What the traditional “auscultation method” means is that the observer is using a stethoscope to listen to the arterial sounds to measure the blood pressure using a cuff.

... That is determined as the gold standard reference value and that is what we are comparing to.
