HYPO is a lightweight, intelligent, patch-like wearable designed to give everyone effortless insight into their blood pressure trends - continuously, silently, and without cuffs. Built as a proof-of-concept device (TRL 5), HYPO demonstrates how a single chest-mounted ECG signal can be transformed into real-time hypertension awareness thanks to on-device artificial intelligence.
Hypertension is a global “silent killer,” often undetected until symptoms appear. Yet continuous monitoring with traditional tools is uncomfortable, bulky, or impractical for everyday life.
HYPO uses four electrodes positioned on the chest to capture a clean ECG signal—two built into the patch, two external.
The patch is made from skin-friendly, hypoallergenic materials. A small LED and buzzing alert notify the user if predicted blood pressure rises above normal thresholds.
HYPO is currently a proof-of-concept prototype validated in laboratory settings. The next phase involves testing in clinical environments to evaluate the device in real-world conditions.
