Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a silent yet pervasive condition, contributing to heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other serious complications. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it affects over 1.28 billion people globally, with many remaining undiagnosed or undertreated. Managing hypertension effectively requires constant monitoring and timely interventions, which have traditionally relied on sporadic blood pressure measurements taken in clinical settings. However, advancements in wearable technology and remote biosensors are transforming this paradigm. These devices provide real-time, continuous data, empowering individuals and healthcare providers to take proactive steps in blood pressure management.
