The study concluded that the Aktiia optical blood pressure (BP) monitor, performs comparably to traditional methods in an elderly population.

The findings suggest that employing a more comfortable, non-invasive, and non-occlusive method for prolonged BP monitoring could enhance e-health practices and potentially improve the management of hypertension (HTN) in older adults, including the diagnosis and treatment processes.
