Google's AI detects high blood pressure from a regular smartwatch without a cuff

AI summary

Google Research built an AI that spots signs of high blood pressure using only the pulse and motion sensors in a standard smartwatch, no cuff needed. In a 196-person study, its 65.8 percent detection rate beat the traditional in-office measurement. The method is already live in the Google Health app, though it doesn't replace a formal diagnosis.
