summary: "Google Research developed an AI that detects signs of high blood pressure using only the pulse and motion sensors in a standard smartwatch. In a 196-person study, the method achieved a 65.8 percent detection rate, which beat traditional in-office measurements. The method is live in the Google Health app but does not replace a formal diagnosis."
