Hanspeter's journey
Hanspeter's hereditary kidney condition and hypertension require careful management. Discover how tracking his blood pressure around the clock helps him maintain an active lifestyle, enjoy cycling in the Swiss hills, and stay on top of his wellbeing.
This inspiring story showcases how Hilo's continuous blood pressure monitoring device empowers people to take control of their health without compromising their passion for life.
Why continuous monitoring changes everything
High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" for a reason. It often shows no symptoms, yet affects nearly half of all adults. Traditional once-a-year readings at the doctor's office capture just a moment in time — missing the full picture of your cardiovascular health.
Your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day and night for many reasons. Thanks to ~25 measurements around the clock, Hilo can identify your blood pressure's patterns and trends — even while you sleep.
American Heart Association studies show measuring blood pressure regularly can uncover problems earlier, leading to better blood pressure control. Send personalised insights to loved ones or doctors right from the Hilo App, so you can form an action plan and monitor its impact.
Real-time insights and personalised support help you make different lifestyle choices and create healthy habits. More data helps you understand why blood pressure changes might happen, and what you can do about them.
Once your band's on, that's it. It's tracking your blood pressure 24/7 — no more daily interruptions for manual measurements. No more fussing with cuffs, following measurement schedules or scribbling down readings — just effortless blood pressure monitoring, data and insights, day and night.
Hilo's continuous blood pressure monitoring device reveals the complete picture — how stress, sleep, exercise, and daily activities affect your heart health in real-time. This is the same clinically validated blood pressure wearable that helped Hanspeter maintain his active Swiss lifestyle despite his kidney condition.
By having reliable blood pressure data across the entire lifespan of an individual, I'm quite sure that what we're seeing here is the beginning of a journey that will fundamentally change how we think about and treat hypertension.

With the old device, I only knew my blood pressure as of the moment I actually measured it. If I forgot to do that, I only had data every second or third day. This has now changed completely with the new device.
