Can Nanotechnology Help in Monitoring Hypertension?
Yes, nanotechnology can aid in continuous and non-invasive monitoring of blood pressure. Wearable devices incorporating nanomaterials can track physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial stiffness. These devices can provide real-time data to both patients and healthcare providers, facilitating better management of hypertension. For example, smart tattoos and flexible electronic patches are being developed to continuously monitor blood pressure without causing discomfort to the user.
