Demo: A Medical Device-Grade Wearable From Omron

/**/ /**/

Health care represents a big vertical opportunity for the expanding wearables market, and Omron has staked its claim as a player with its home blood pressure wearable medical device, Omron Project Zero.

’You can wear it on your wrist; it kind of looks like a watch. It can take your blood pressure, it tracks your steps, your calories burned, and your distance, as well as your sleep,’ said Omron’s Jeff Ray.

Ray said the differentiator between Omron’s new wearable and other fitness trackers on the market is that it is a professional, medical device-grade unit.

’It is really designed for those people who are struggling to manage their hypertension and don’t want to have a heart attack or stroke. And to do that, it’s more than just blood pressure, it is all these other things,’ Ray said.

’We have all the clinical studies and the FDA filings to back up that accuracy,’ he added.

Omron Project Zero will hit the market later this year.
