Smartwatch could replace cuff for blood pressure checks
NCT ID NCT06508619
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether the Corsano CardioWatch 287-2, a smartwatch that measures blood pressure using light sensors, can accurately track blood pressure changes in people starting or adjusting their blood pressure medication. Eighty adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure wore the watch for 28 days while also using a standard arm cuff for comparison. The goal was to see if the watch could reliably measure the drop in blood pressure after treatment changes, potentially enabling remote monitoring at home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Corsano CardioWatch 287-2 (a smartwatch that measures blood pressure using light sensors)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a smartwatch can reliably monitor blood pressure at home, potentially reducing the need for frequent clinic visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study (80 people) that only checks accuracy over 28 days. The device may not be as precise as a standard cuff, and results may not apply to all patients or long-term use.
