Original title: Google's AI detects high blood pressure from a regular smartwatch without a cuff
Google's watch-based AI detects hypertension as well as cuffs in study of 196 people.
Google Research AI can detect signs of high blood pressure using a regular smartwatch. The system relies on pulse and motion sensors and learned patterns from nearly 500,000 hours of data. In a study of 196 people across five US sites, the watch identified 65.8 percent of hypertension cases compared to 55.3 percent for cuff measurements.
- Learned from nearly 500,000 hours of sensor data
- Identifies 65.8 percent of cases like traditional cuff
- Folded into Google Health app blood pressure trends
- Still a research project not a diagnosis
