Hypertension Continuous Monitoring

Telehealth is a continuously developing segment in the medical industry. The main goal of Telehealth is to facilitate the lives of chronic disease patients and to keep the ones with high risk to check their state constantly. This is done via user-friendly telehealth devices that measure and save all of the patient’s health data. The aim is to track patient metrics and to transmit that data to personal physicians for further diagnoses and treatment.

Uncontrolled hypertension can easily lead to stroke. High blood pressure can cause the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the brain to burst or be blocked, causing a stroke. Brain cells die during a stroke because they do not get enough oxygen. Stroke can cause serious disabilities in speech, movement, and other basic activities. Having high blood pressure, especially in midlife, is linked to having poorer cognitive function and dementia later in life.

For these specific reasons, patients who either have been diagnosed with hypertension or patients who are aware of the possibility that the disease can be genetically transmitted to them can definitely benefit from the constant monitoring of their blood pressure, along with the level of oxygen in their blood.

SIFSOF has thought about this issue and produced the ultimate safety packs: SIFTELEHEALTH-1.0 and SIFTELEHEALTH-1.1.

The packs contain 3 essential connected devices:

(1) Bluetooth-connected blood pressure monitor SIFBPM-3.4. This BPM allows the user to easily monitor their blood pressure either at home or at the office while being able to transfer and save all the data to their phone where the APP is installed.

(2) Smart handlebar scale: If the patient’s body weight corresponds to the accurate BMI, then he or she is in a healthy weight and would better work to maintain it that way. Obesity is one of the major factors that can easily cause multiple complications in the hypertension patient’s body.

(3) Smartwatch SIFWATCH-1.0 or the smart wristband SMARTWATCH-1.2: The smartwatch has lab-tested sensors that provide continuous measurement, and henceforth monitoring, of blood pressure, blood oxygen, abnormal heart rate, and stress levels.

The devices in the SIFTELEHEALTH-1.0 and SIFTELEHEALTH-1.1 are all Bluetooth-connected in order to help the patients to keep a well-organized record of the measurement, which can, later on, be used as diagnostic reports by the doctors.
