The study, called Blood Pressure Profile, will begin this year and be conducted among users in the United States. Data will be collected automatically via the ring to identify possible signs of hypertension at an early stage. In this case, the device does not display certain pressure values. The project has received approval from the supervisory board and will become part of the Oura Labs platform through a special application.
Hypertension affects approximately 1.3 billion adults worldwide and is considered the leading cause of disease, stroke, and cardiovascular complications. Developers state that the ring can record physiological signals more accurately because it is located just above the arteries in the finger.
