I had a concern about my BP. I contacted my GP who was less than helpful, but who wanted readings and then I couldn’t see him for a month! Concerned about my BP, I decided to take action. I bought myself an Aktiia BP bracelet. The first thing I liked is that it is discreet. It doesn’t vibrate all day and It slips under the sleeve of my blouse without issue. Set up was easy. The app on my phone gives me comprehensive data on my BP through the day and night. I can also add notes to say what was going on in my day or I can add meds as sometimes these affect BP. The best thing though is the report it produces with all the detail my GP will need to treat me. But in the meantime, I have live data to show any other medical professional should I need to do so. Hypertension is called the silent killer….often people have no side effects of having a higher BP. What this ingenious device does, is give your BP a voice! Best purchase I have made in 2025. Cannot recommend it enough.
Good

I'm 76 and have been using the Hilo for about a year. On the whole it's pretty good, but writing from my background as a biomedical scientist it has its limitations, - as do most patient controlled devices. It excels at showing trends in changes in blood pressure which is my personal way of viewing the results. I still get my BP checked at doctor consults and if the Hilo has taken a measurement about the same time as the doctor that acts as a form of quality control. In my work I always had 'gold standard' control samples to check my equipment, which by definition aren't available for blood pressure monitors once they've left the factory. I prefer to calibrate more often than monthly as I found that after the calibration the results (in one month each) averaged plus then minus 20 mmHg. As a professional I could spot was was happening and recalibrate but feel that a way of using the arm cuff to get a reading separately from the wrist band could be reassuring to users.My recommendation is yes, purchase and use the Hilo, it will provide reassurance once your blood pressure is under control. Look at the weekly and monthly graphs to see trends, and show them to your medical team if you have concerns. They'll be able to see the trends and spot operator or instrument problems. My score would be 4/5 for my Hilo model from Dec 2024. (I bought the Hilo after testing several devices and I have no connection to the company.)
App needs development

The device itself works generally works well. I would prefer more strap options - although soft enough to be comfortable the rubber tends to cause sweat.The app itself is very simple (given the price I’d want to see more insights) and while it works 90% of the time it is quite frustrating. If you close the app, the device disconnects and won’t reconnect unless you attach it to the charger. Super annoying. I also had quite a lot of issues getting it to stay connected to Bluetooth initially. If you have to switch off Bluetooth for whatever reason, it won’t to reconnect again without attaching it to the charger. I am currently using this in conjunction with Whoop, would be good if the data could be integrated with Whoop, likewise with Apple health to integrate with frankly the much wider sweep of insights both Apple health and Whoop provide (I had an Apple Watch before Whoop and happily most of the same data points can be tracked in Apple health on Whoop band just as they are on Apple Watch).Overall I think a good start, but more reliability, functionality and integrations would be good especially given the price. Without this I am not sure why I would wear this in the long run…
Pretty good early version

Overall I’m happy. I was put off by the handbooks as they were huge and in such tiny print. You can get PDFs via the App. Quick Start sheet!! That’s all you need. I didn’t need the manuals I have never seen a reading over 150 systolic and I certainly had these frequently with my previous meter. I’m not 100% convinced with the measurements. However I am delighted to know the variation overnight. I think as an indicator of 24 hour cycles of blood pressure, this is fantastic. Also I think if you get high readings on a normal meter because of anxiety, having the measurement taken when you don’t know is also brilliant Minor improvements to the app would be to add a single day average measurement to Apple health. I think all the data would just be too much. Apple health doesn’t have good display software for blood pressure I think you ought to be able to export the data as a CSV file Conceivably, the weekly and monthly graph could have variations shown on the ends of the lines OhI would like a nice light brown strap please in leather. Not Apple price. But something for 20 or £30 would be lovely

Use Statement
Hilo Band is a non-invasive blood pressure (BP) monitor intended to measure optical Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals on the user’s wrist and to calculate blood pressure values using a Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) technique, following a calibration process using an oscillometric blood pressure monitor.
Hilo Band can also calculate heart rate based on the same measurement and analysis technology.
Safety Information
1.1. Contra-indications Hilo Band IS NOT INTENDED to be used: 1. on patients suffering from sustained cardiac arrhythmias that can lead to weak or unstable pressure pulses including tachycardia (heart rate at rest > 120bpm) and atrial fibrillation;
2. on patients suffering from pathologies that systematically reduce peripheral perfusion including Raynaud’s disease, renal dysfunctions (eGFR < 60mL/min/1.73 m2), hyper-/hypothyroidism, pheochromocytoma or arteriovenous fistula;
