#ecg monitor

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. At that time, I was already using the Huawei Band 6 to monitor my steps, heart rate and sleep pattern. 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 need for such monitors to be integrated into a fitness band or smartwatch has become more important due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the very first smartphone we've tested that comes with an integrated differential pressure sensor and ECG analysis. 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. Well, we tried it multiple times and compared it with the traditional BP monitor we have at home. Most of the time, we notice that the Watch D is giving out a bit higher numbers than the traditional BP monitor.
