Yongrow YK-BPW1 rechargeable wrist blood pressure monitor

For many decades, the auscultatory method, which requires a manually inflated air-bladder cuff and a stethoscope to listen to arterial wall sounds, was the standard technique for measuring blood pressure. However, this method necessitated practice and was primarily conducted by trained healthcare professionals.

Recent advancements in medical technology have paved the way for affordable, user-friendly digital blood pressure (BP) monitors that anyone can use at home, with no special expertise or training needed.

A digital BP monitor utilizes an inflatable air-bladder cuff, a battery-powered air pump, and a pressure sensor to detect arterial wall vibrations and measure the blood pressure within an artery. This technique is known as the oscillometric method.

Digital BP monitors come in two models: upper-arm and wrist. The upper-arm model consists of a cuff placed on the upper arm and connected by a tube to a monitor, which sits on a nearby surface. The wrist model, more compact in design, has a unit that wraps entirely around the wrist. Despite the differences in design, the fundamental measurement principle for both types of BP monitors is consistent.
