Wearable sensors and AI could monitor blood pressure in ICU

Health technology can be useful, but it becomes risky when people mistake consumer sensors for medical devices. The key is understanding what the data actually shows and what it doesn’t.

Reporting

Phys.org Medical Research reports that Wearable sensors and AI could monitor blood pressure in ICU. Wearable sensors coupled with AI can generate blood pressure readings nearly as accurately as the invasive and risky arterial lines relied on in intensive care units and operating rooms, new work by Johns Hopkins University researchers demonstrates. The key issue is evidence: what the device measures, how reliable the measurement is, who can safely use it, and where medical guidance is still needed.
