According to a report by MakeUseOf, wearables such as smartwatches and fitness trackers may not be accurate in measuring blood pressure. While these devices provide convenience and accessibility, they may not provide reliable readings. The report states that the technology used in wearables to measure blood pressure, such as optical sensors, may not be as accurate as traditional methods like using an inflatable cuff. Inaccuracy in blood pressure measurement could have serious implications for individuals who rely on these devices for monitoring their health. Therefore, it is important for users to be aware of the limitations of wearables and consult with healthcare professionals for accurate blood pressure monitoring.
