#blood pressure watch

Last year, I had my first encounter with hypertension (high blood pressure) and my good neighbor handed me one of his usual pills for managing HBP and lent me a BP monitor for a week. I was telling my neighbor that sooner or later, one of the big brands (Huawei, Samsung or Apple) might come up with a smartwatch or smart band that will include blood pressure, blood sugar and/or ECG on top of the heart rate and blood oxygen levels. The way they executed the blood pressure monitor is somewhat similar to the typical BP monitors from the likes of Omron where a band inflates around your arms or wrist. The Huawei Watch D uses Huawei TruBP, which employs micro air pumps and airbags for wrist-based blood pressure measurement. ASUS has announced the VivoWatch 6 Plus at Computex 2026, introducing new health monitoring features focused on blood pressure, ECG tracking, and wellness monitoring. The smartwatch retains ASUS’ existing blood pressure and ECG monitoring capabilities while adding new features such as sleep breathing movement tracking and gait analysis.
