In this episode, we delve into the revolutionary work of Dr. Kireev, who is pushing the boundaries of health monitoring with wearable technology. The continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure (BP) in non-clinical or ambulatory settings plays a critical role in understanding various health conditions, especially cardiovascular diseases. Traditional ambulatory BP devices, while useful, can be cumbersome and intrusive, limiting their usability and comfort for the user.

Enter Dr. Kireev's cutting-edge research. He introduces a wearable continuous BP monitoring platform that is based on electrical bioimpedance, utilizing atomically thin, self-adhesive, lightweight, and unobtrusive graphene electronic tattoos as interfaces with the human body. This technology is able to monitor arterial BP continuously and non-invasively for over 300 minutes, a duration tenfold longer than previous studies.

The readings obtained show remarkable accuracy, equivalent to a Grade A classification, offering immense potential in medical diagnosis and disease correlation with individual behavior, daily habits, and lifestyle. This could potentially enable the analysis of root causes, prognosis, and disease prevention.

Join us as we discuss Dr. Kireev's groundbreaking work and explore the future of health monitoring.
