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.

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.”
Dr. Andreas Serra
Professor of Medicine, University of Zurich, Hirslanden
“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.”
