An ultra-thin, unobtrusive blood pressure (BP) sensor that can be worn as a wristband or weaved into clothing has been developed by a research team from the Faculty of Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Such devices are accurate and low on battery consumption. When connected to a wireless network, they can provide round-the-clock tracking of the user’s BP, so that abnormality can be detected early to advert acute problems such as strokes and heart attacks.
