Omron Unveils Medical-Grade Wearable Blood Pressure Monitor Watch in Project Zero Series

Recently, Omron showcased its Project Zero series of blood pressure monitoring products at CES 2016, including the Project Zero wrist-type and arm-type electronic blood pressure monitors. The Project Zero wrist-type electronic blood pressure monitor is particularly distinctive, featuring a wearable watch design. Its sensors can accurately read the wearer’s blood pressure. By automatically analyzing the hand position during measurement, the device achieves accuracy comparable to that of upper-arm blood pressure measurement methods. Additionally, this wearable watch can also be used as a fitness tracker.



It should be noted that Omron’s Project Zero blood pressure monitoring device is not a typical health-tracking wearable. Instead, it is a medical-grade monitoring device requiring FDA clearance, with precision sufficient for use in hospitals and healthcare institutions. Omron is currently awaiting FDA testing and related certifications. The price and release date of the Project Zero blood pressure monitor watch have not yet been determined, but are predicted to be around $200.
