Braille Blood Pressure Bands

The Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor Helps the Blind Stay Healthy

— March 19, 2011 — Lifestyle
Keeping an eye on your pesky blood pressure would be a lot easier to do with Diana Dumitrescu's Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor. The Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor is a wristband designed for the blind to monitor that displays blood pressure levels in braille. Tensio is designed to look like a high-tech wristband to let you discreetly monitor your health privately or in public.

It is tough enough for people with sight to stay on top of their blood pressure, so I can't imagine how hard it must be for the blind. The Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor makes it easier for the blind to take their health into their own hands, freeing them from constant doctor's visits and asking for help when taking their blood pressure in public.
Trend Themes
1. Braille Health Devices - The creation of health devices like the Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor that uses Braille to display important information opens the door for more health devices designed for the blind.
2. Discreet Health Monitoring - Devices like the Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor show opportunities for more discreet health monitoring tools that allow individuals to remotely monitor their health without drawing attention.
3. Accessible Health Technology - The Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor demonstrates the need for more accessible health technology, providing opportunity for cutting-edge devices that cater to those who have been neglected in the past.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare Technology - There is an opportunity for the healthcare technology industry to develop more products for the blind and visually impaired, such as the Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor.
2. Wearable Technology - The development of wearable technology could lead to an increase in discreet health monitoring tools like the Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor.
3. Accessibility Technology - The Tensio Blood Pressure Monitor represents the potential for more companies to create accessibility technology, which will make technology accessible to those who were previously excluded.
