• Can I buy the device without subscription?

  No. Hilo subscription is required to use the Hilo Band. The technology depends on cloud-based algorithms and ongoing software updates that are integral to delivering medical-grade accuracy.

  Your subscription includes the device, the app, continuous monitoring, and all features — making blood pressure management simple and affordable.

• How does it work?

  Hilo is a subscription service that provides 24/7, cuffless blood pressure monitoring using a clinically validated, CE-marked Class IIa medical device.
  The service includes two core components that work together to measure, track, and display your cardiovascular data:

  ---

  1. Hilo Band

  The Hilo Band is a wearable device that uses optical sensors (photoplethysmography, or PPG) to detect signals from your wrist. It calculates your blood pressure using Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) after a calibration with the Hilo Cuff, which is required once every 30 days.

  The band automatically measures your blood pressure and heart rate around 25 times per day, without requiring any interaction.
  It emits no lights or alerts, is comfortable, and is designed for continuous wear, including during sleep.

  ---

  2. Hilo App

  The Hilo App syncs with your Hilo Band and gives you access to your health data. It displays how your blood pressure changes throughout the day and night, highlighting trends related to activity, meals, stress, sleep, and medication.

  You can also share reports directly from the app with your doctor or family to your doctor about your results and never rely solely on this device for health decisions.

• How accurate is it?

  The Hilo Band is not a simple consumer wearable device. The Hilo Band is a CE Marked Class IIa medical device that has undergone extensive and thorough clinical validation. 

  Aktiia’s technology powers Hilo and is based on 20 years of research and over 100K users.

  While developing the technology used in the Hilo Band, two clinical trials have been conducted that have demonstrated that its accuracy is comparable to that of a regular cuff that you would place on your upper arm. In particular, our medical device has been validated in patients representing the general population, according to the ISO-81060-2 international standard.
