Everyone is not going to die?
Cool ... this would be good for Hubs, whose blood pressure spikes in the doctor’s office

My BP is in the green...working out with heavy weights twice a week...not too shabby for 81.
Interesting...thanks for posting.
I use an Omron bicep cuff at home and an Omron portable wrist cuff when I’m out. I.usually take three measurements ten minutes apart and get readings 10% to 15% apart. I’ve also calibrated the portable cuff to the upper arm cuff and find the portable consistently differs from the upper arm cuff by 6%. Given there variations I wonder how I would. Ali rate this new device to a cuff instrument.
It sounds promising, but I wonder about accuracy.
Why?? That sort of 24/7 surveillance would drive anyone nuts. Every little blip up or down will eventually cause anxiety and worry. Not worth it. I know I’ve got high BP and I medicate for it, every 6 months my dr tells me I have high bp.
Comparing blood pressure measurements between a photoplethysmography-based and a standard cuff-based manometry device

People who are not even willing to do something so easy as taking their blood pressure several times a day with an over the counter Walgreen's BP cuff system are also likely the ones who will not lose weight or exercise or reduce salt in their diet.
In other words, they can't be bothered and the rest of us will absorb the costs of their hospitalization in higher premiums when they eventually stroke out.
Most these people who become fanatics taking their own blood pressure constantly, drive themselves nuts...Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive ya crazy.
