Proven technology grounded in Blood Pressure science
Hilo Core is built on decades of research into blood pressure patterns and measurement, helping users explore long-term trends alongside lifestyle context and reference measurements.*
How Hilo Core interprets patterns
Hilo uses optical sensors and signal analysis to help users explore patterns and trends over time
PPG sensor
Uses light to detect pulse signals at the wrist
Optical signal
Captures waveform patterns from each heartbeat
Pattern analysis
Algorithms help identify long-term blood pressure trends
Cuff measurements
Cuff-based reference measurements support long-term blood pressure trend visibility
Designed for real-life understanding
Hilo Core was developed using established blood pressure measurement methodologies and evaluated across real-world daily conditions.
Grounded in recognized measurement methodology
Developed using established blood pressure reference methods to support long-term trend visibility.
Tested across everyday conditions
Developed and evaluated across a range of daily scenarios, including different body positions and real-life routines.
Research behind the technology
A growing body of research has explored the methods behind Hilo Core, including cuff-based reference measurements and long-term pattern evaluation across different populations and conditions.
Validation of the Hilo reference cuff - 2023
Evaluated according to recognized ANSI/AAMI/ISO standards for upper-arm blood pressure devices.
Evaluation in older adults - 2023
Studied in adults aged 65–85 across a range of body positions using established reference methods.
Daily-life evaluation study - 2025
Explored across different times of day using ambulatory reference measurements.
Remote monitoring research collaboration - 2025
Studied as part of a remote blood pressure program in collaboration with Mass General Brigham.
