A team at Caltech has developed a noninvasive method to continually measure blood pressure anywhere on the body using sound waves, enabling better vital-sign monitoring in various settings. Called resonance sonomanometry, the device promises to revolutionize blood pressure monitoring, going beyond traditional cuff measurements. The team’s decade-long effort resulted in a device that provides continuous and comprehensive measurements, a game-changer in patient care. The device is cost-effective, accurate, and user-friendly. Through a deep understanding of fundamental principles, the team at Caltech has tackled a challenging problem, leading the way in medical innovation and societal impact.
