“Blood pressure based on a peripheral like a finger is iffy at best.”

This uses a new technology.

Yes, I read the article, and they measure pulse at two points of a finger, determine the 'velocity' of the blood within the finger, and from that it estimates Diastolic with a claimed 63% accuracy. Diastolic is the more important number, and 63% accuracy may as well be a random number.

The article also said their sensor could measure respiratory rates, but didn't describe how that might be accomplished from a finger.
