Sense Ahead

Accurate and continuous blood pressure monitoring is essential for the early detection of cardiovascular conditions and personalized health management. Traditional cuff-based methods are often intrusive and unsuitable for long-term or ambulatory monitoring. This project explores a non-intrusive, cuffless approach to continuous blood pressure measurement using pulse transit time (PTT) derived from a wearable system of multiple photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors.

Initially, I feared tackling this challenge, as designing for medical purposes was new to me. However, it proved to be a challenging yet exciting experience. Despite the project's focus on research, I participated in prototyping, design, shaping the business model and conducting user research to assisting in the testing of the prototype. By taking initiative in both the design and strategic aspects, I helped bridge the gap between engineering and entrepreneurship. I applied my design skills to create a user-friendly, visually consistent product, and contributed to a compelling presentation strategy focused on patient impact.
