Detection of Hypertension
-
It can detect white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, and nighttime high blood pressure.
How Is It Done?
A small digital monitor is worn on the waist or shoulder, connected to a cuff around the arm, which inflates automatically at set intervals.
Patients are advised to wear loose clothing and continue normal activities but avoid bathing or swimming while wearing the device.
The cuff inflates every 15–30 minutes during the day and hourly at night, recording results without needing hospital stay.
After 24 hours, the device is removed, and the data is analyzed by the doctor to understand blood pressure patterns.
