Remember when you needed cassettes, CDs and MP3 players to listen to music? Today, streaming services like Spotify bring music to the personal mobile devices we all own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same is true here. Though up until now, cumbersome devices or dedicated hardware were needed to monitor blood pressure, this will soon cease to be the norm. With the help of Binah.ai, people will be able to have blood pressure monitored from their smartphone, laptop, tablet and other camera-equipped devices – from anywhere, and at any time that they need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blood pressure is known as the silent killer, mainly because it can often have no symptoms at all, and yet is a risk factor for heart disease, heart failure and stroke<\/a> \u2013 as well as many other critical and even fatal diseases. Known as hypertension, blood pressure causes or contributes to 7.6 million deaths each year<\/a> worldwide. Shockingly, studies show that only about a quarter of adults<\/a> with hypertension have their condition under control.As the signs and the symptoms of high blood pressure are often misunderstood \u2013 the only real way to know whether you suffer from hypertension and to take the right steps to keep it under control, is to regularly monitor your blood pressure. Right now, the AMA reports that worldwide, 64% of adults<\/a> have no idea what a high blood pressure reading looks like, and only 10% think that this is a priority in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In-person blood pressure monitoring periodically at health facilities may not occur as often as needed. Blood pressure readings can easily be anomalous due to stress, diet or even sitting incorrectly \u2013 so it\u2019s important for clinicians and other stakeholders to be able to get regular, frequent data on blood pressure for longer periods of time, both to set a benchmark and also to spot changes at the earliest possible stages. If remote blood pressure monitoring can be implemented to enable end-users to monitor it and share it with carers anytime and from any location that they are, the newfound visibility into such a critical vital sign will provide many benefits, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat\u2019s the benefit of Binah.ai\u2019s blood pressure monitoring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
