• How accurate is the Hilo Band?

  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.

• Who is Hilo Band approved for?

  Hilo Band uses PPG technology (Photoplethysmography) to acquire optical data on your wrist. The PPG data are then transferred through the Hilo App to a secured cloud server on which Hilo’s algorithms estimate your blood pressure through advanced processing of the optical data. Hilo Band detects if the user is moving before initiating a PPG measurement and will provide blood pressure measurements only when the user is still. This product is licensed under patents owned by CSEM SA, Switzerland.

  Wearing the bracelet 24hrs/day, will send the measurements to the Hilo App that you installed on your Phone and will give you an overall understanding of your blood pressure at day and at night.

  Please refer to the Hilo Blood Pressure Monitoring App on our website for a detailed explanation of how Aktiia’s technology works.

  • Avoid exposing your device to immersion under pressurized water or high-velocity water.

  • Avoid exposure to any chemical products such as solvents, detergents, mosquito repellent, hand sanitizing gel, perfumes or cosmetics. They may damage the strap or the casing of the bracelet.

  • Avoid extreme atmospheres (e.g. saunas or steam rooms)

  Best practices:

  • If exposed to salt water, rinse the band thoroughly with clean, fresh water and dry it gently.
