Hypertension is the epidemic of our time
Hypertension affects 1.3 Billion people and is the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes globally.
30%
of adults suffer from hypertension
50%
are not aware of their condition
50%
of those diagnosed don’t have it under control

Why Does 24/7 Blood Pressure Matter?
Decades of clinical research support the importance of:
- More frequent, accurate blood pressure measurements at home
- Measurement of nighttime blood pressure to assess cardiovascular risk
- Adjustment of medication titration based on blood pressure changes
- The impact of lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, or meditation on blood pressure control.
