Aktiia, a Swiss company, has secured FDA clearance for its over-the-counter (OTC) cuffless blood pressure monitoring system, the G0 Blood Pressure Monitoring System (Hilo Band). This innovative device uses an optical sensor on the wrist to estimate blood pressure and sends data to an app and cloud server. The OTC wearable is set to hit US markets in 2026.
The statistics are staggering: according to the American Heart Association, nearly one-third of Americans have high blood pressure, which increases their risk of heart disease and stroke. With Aktiia’s solution, individuals can monitor their blood pressure without requiring a prescription or visiting a doctor’s office.
The company has received significant funding to bring this technology to market, with a total raise of over $100 million, including a $42 million Series B round. This achievement marks a milestone in the fight against global hypertension through technology.
