Wearable Devices + AI Analysis May Predict High Blood Pressure Crisis up to 3 Days Early

Wearable devices and AI provide early warning signs of hypertensive crises

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze patterns in measures from a portable cuff-based blood pressure monitor and health data from a wrist-worn device may help identify when adults with stage 2 high blood pressure (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg) are at increased risk of a dangerously high blood pressure episode (>180/120 mm Hg with acute end-organ damage), known as a hypertensive crisis, up to three days before it occurs, according to new,…

Wearables and AI Predict Hypertensive Crisis Up to Three Days in Advance

The AI tool used in the study analyzed 47 features, including blood pressure fluctuations, changes during sleep, morning blood pressure increases, heart rate, and heart rate variability, to predict a hypertensive crisis within the next 72 hours.

Wearable devices + AI analysis may predict high blood pressure crisis up to 3 days early

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze patterns in measurements from a portable cuff-based blood pressure monitor and health data from a wrist-worn device may help identify when adults with stage 2 high blood pressure (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg) are at increased risk of a dangerously high blood pressure episode (>180/120 mm Hg with acute end-organ damage), known as a hypertensive crisis, up to three days before it occurs, according to …

AI could warn a blood pressure emergency three days early

Artificial intelligence combined with a blood pressure monitor and wrist-worn tracker may identify a dangerous blood pressure emergency up to three days before it happens. The early warning could give medical teams more time to respond. A study of 4,190 adults with high blood pressure found that patterns during sleep and after waking were especially […]
