According to a recent SciTechDaily article, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple and affordable solution for blood pressure monitoring: a low-cost clip and smartphone app. The clip, which costs less than a dollar to produce, attaches to a smartphone's camera and flash, allowing users to monitor their blood pressure at their fingertip. With the guidance of a custom app, users press on the clip to measure their blood pressure, eliminating the need for traditional cuff-based devices.
