Now, users will be able to closely keep an eye on their blood pressure with the same level of effort that it takes to check the time on a watch. HeartGuide, which was exhibited at CES 2019, integrates an inflatable oscillometric blood pressure cuff that provides automated measurements with medical-grade accuracy. Alongside the launch of the blood pressure monitor wearable, Omron Healthcare is introducing its new digital health service, HeartAdvisor, which takes the form of a mobile app that provides heart health-centric insights and coaching. This is particularly noteworthy, as Omron Healthcare President and CEO Ranndy Kellogg states that "80% of heart disease and stroke events are preventable." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Boomers](https://www.trendhunter.com/boomers) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wearable Blood Pressure Monitors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more advanced and user-friendly wearable blood pressure monitors with medical-grade accuracy. - **Digital Health Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create comprehensive mobile apps that offer personalized insights and coaching for heart health. - **Preventive Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement strategies and technologies to increase awareness and prevention of heart disease and stroke events. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Pioneer advancements in wearable technology and digital health services to improve patient monitoring and preventive care. - **Medical Device Manufacturers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with tech companies to develop innovative wearable blood pressure monitors that align with medical device standards. - **Health and Wellness Apps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create mobile apps focused on heart health that offer personalized coaching and insights to users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Blood Pressure-Measuring Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-monitoring-capability.md) - [Smart Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-1.md) - [Demure Blood Pressure Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aktiia-wearable-blood-pressure-monitor.md) - [Portable Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-blood-pressure-monitor.md) - [Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valencell-1.md) - [Arterial Health Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ticwatch-gth-pro.md) - [AI-Forward Health-Monitoring Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuwell-medical.md) - [Affordable Blood Pressure Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-1.md) - [OTC Oxygen Saturation Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masimo-w1-medical-watch.md)
