In its review “Aktiia Hilo Blood Pressure Monitor”, WIRED evaluates the first FDA-cleared cuffless blood pressure monitor, highlighting its ability to measure blood pressure without the need for repeated cuff inflation.

WIRED’s Adrienne So tests the Hilo band alongside traditional cuff-based monitors, exploring its optical pulse wave technology, overnight tracking capabilities, and long battery life. The review notes the device’s comfort, waterproof design, and simplicity, while explaining how continuous measurements — including during sleep — can provide a more complete picture of cardiovascular health.

The piece awards Hilo a rating of 8/10 and recognises its potential to make blood pressure monitoring more accessible and unobtrusive.
