# Wireless Blood Pressure Monitors This Blood Pressure System Transmits Data in Real Time By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-01-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-pressure-system References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/cuffless-blood-pressure-estimation/41505/) & [monash.edu](http://www.monash.edu/) A group of engineers at Monash University in Australia have invented an innovative blood pressure system that is well capable of being worn for hours at a time, and that can transmit real-time data without the use of a cable. The system comprises a bunch of very small sensors that are worn against the skin and located near arteries. These sensors go about measuring the amount of time it takes blood to travel between different sensors, and uses that data to figure out the patient's blood pressure. The next step for this blood pressure system prototype is to commercialize it, and that is set to be happen very soon. Once this blood pressure system is out on the market, it will surely make it easier than ever for doctors to stay on top of blood pressure readings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Real-time Health Monitoring:** The development of wireless sensors that can transmit real-time blood pressure data paves the way for real-time health monitoring devices in the future. - **Wearable Medical Technology:** The invention of the small sensors that can be worn on the skin can lead to the creation of other wearable medical devices capable of providing accurate patient data. - **Remote Patient Monitoring:** This blood pressure system allows for remote patient monitoring, opening up new opportunities for telemedicine and home healthcare services. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can benefit from the development of wireless blood pressure monitors for real-time patient health monitoring and remote patient care. - **Medical Devices:** Medical device manufacturers can explore opportunities for developing wearable medical technology and sensors capable of transmitting real-time patient data. - **Telemedicine:** The development of real-time wireless blood pressure monitors can help the telemedicine industry in providing remote patient care and monitoring services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cellular Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-bpm-pro-2.md) - [Miniature Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-blood-pressure-monitors.md) - [Connected At-Home Health Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-proseries-blood-pressure-monitor.md) - [Blood Pressure-Measuring Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-monitoring-capability.md) - [Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valencell-1.md) - [Portable Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-blood-pressure-monitor.md) - [Demure Blood Pressure Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aktiia-wearable-blood-pressure-monitor.md) - [Connected Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-blood-pressure-monitors.md) - [Blood Pressure-Monitoring Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yhe-bp-doctor-fit.md)
