My health insurance app now has a tool that will measure a bunch of things using the front-facing camera on my phone pointed at my face for 20 seconds, including my blood pressure.
On the one hand, the doctors at the healthcare company take it as a reasonable measure, so I assume it’s good enough to give a reasonable reading in a day-to-day setting. And I think this is cool.
I do fully intend to check it against a more traditional pressure cuff, but I see no reason not to treat it as a first line measurement system when a cuff is unavailable.
On the other hand… why is Apple not including this tech on their watches, or as standard on their iPhones (which was used for this measurement)
