Asus VivoWatch BP (HC-A04) is an advanced fitness tracker with a built-in blood pressure monitor
Asus has now launched the VivoWatch BP (HC-A04), the company’s latest wearable with a built-in blood pressure monitor. The announcement was made during Computex 2018 in Taipei. The VivoWatch BP is a successor to the original VivoWatch which was launched some three years back. VivoWatch BP is priced at $169 (or approx Rs 11,345) and will be made available in Asia in July.
With the Asus Vivowatch BP, users can receive accurate blood pressure readings in 15 seconds, through its built-in ECG and PPG sensors. Taking advantage of Asus HealthAI technology, fitness enthusiasts can also track other metrics, such as heart rate, sleep quality, activity data, and de-stress index. Based on a user’s activities, Asus HeathAI also offers suggestions to users about their daily steps and sleep goals. The VivoWatch PB is backed by a 28-day battery backup that helps maintain consistent checks on user health stats.
