Hilo cuff-free BP wristband detects hypertension, but cost and calibration hurdles dampen the win
ZDNET reviews Hilo, a wrist-worn, FDA-cleared blood pressure monitor that continuously tracks BP and can alert to hypertension. It’s accurate and durable but requires monthly cuff calibrations, costs about $80 per year after the first year for full app access, and data access is limited otherwise. Sleep tracking is weak, and the overall price undermines its appeal compared with cheaper cuffs or other wearables.
