A small sticker that monitors blood pressure
We're making a small, wearable sticker that continuously monitors blood pressure. It works as accurately as the best devices in hospitals but at a fraction of the cost and without bulky equipment. Our sticker is meant for continuous, real-time tracking in clinical settings and beyond.
We live and work in Irvine, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Irvine offers access to health tech talent and proximity to key medical institutions. We want to keep close to the team and resources that have helped us develop and test our product in real medical environments.
