This believe this blood pressure watch has been approved in a few European countries. It requires you to calibrate against the normal approach every month. I think they are trying to get it approved in the US by next year.

They’ve just received approval for a monitor that needs no calibration at all, although it’s not commercially available yet, and will probably take another half a decade to reach the US.

Psst… the bracelet is available in the US if you use a UK freight forwarder, & download the app from the EU app store…

I wonder how do you calibrate it in practice.

They include a blood pressure cuff with the watch.
