The cuffless device, approved in South Korea, aims to overcome the limitations of conventional monitors by enabling continuous blood pressure measurement, including during sleep.
Key takeaways:
- Sky Labs has launched CART BP, a cuffless blood pressure ring designed for continuous, 24-hour use.
- The device enables blood pressure monitoring during sleep, addressing a major limitation of traditional cuff-based home monitors.
- It is based on the clinically validated technology of CART BP pro, a professional model used in hospitals as an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device.
- Data is tracked via a dedicated mobile app that displays fluctuations and average values in graphs to help users recognize blood pressure patterns.
Sky Labs has launched CART BP, a personal blood pressure ring that enables 24-hour monitoring, including during sleep.
The device, which is worn on the finger, is designed to overcome the limitations of conventional cuff-based home blood pressure monitors that make it difficult to capture nighttime readings.
CART BP has been approved by Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Its technology was developed based on the clinically validated CART BP pro, a professional model used by hospitals as an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device.
Users can monitor their blood pressure changes through a dedicated mobile app, which features a “My Blood Pressure Calendar” to display average values and fluctuations by time and date in graphs. This visualization is intended to help users and their clinicians recognize patterns for more personalized health management.
“CART BP brings clinically validated hospital technology into the hands of consumers,” says Jack Byunghwan Lee, CEO of Sky Labs, in a release. “Its key advantage lies in enabling management tailored to individual lifestyle patterns, including blood pressure during sleep.”
Sky Labs has signed a domestic distribution agreement for CART BP with South Korea’s Daewoong Pharmaceutical for sales to hospitals, clinics, and consumers.
