The monitor
is called Project Zero 2.0, it monitors the blood pressure with clinical precision
and tracks physical activity and sleep pattern.
The monitor
incorporates a slim, inflatable cuff sensing system and steel micro threads in
the wrist band. It just looks like a large smartwatch. The device can also
remind you of taking your medication on time.

Two other
B.P. monitors were also shown off at the show as part of Project Zero 2.0. One is ‘Evolve’ a wireless upper
arm monitor and ‘HeartVue’ the smallest monitor Omron has made.
All the
Omron monitors sync with the Omron app, which displays the B.P. readings and
other data like BMI, fat content and physical activity pattern. Users can share that data directly with their
healthcare provider.
The device
is powered by rechargeable battery that last a week when fully charged.
Omron
President and CEO Ranndy Kellogg said “Omron continues to evolve the experience
of checking your blood pressure with technology that is increasingly more
portable, more mobile, more connected and easier to use. Checking your blood
pressure only in a doctor's office or in a machine at a pharmacy has been
redefined by convenient clinically-accurate Omron personal medical devices that
can be used at home, at work or on the go.” He further added “We are
revolutionizing personal heart health technology to encourage behavior that we
know can save lives."
Omron
Healthcare recently announced its goal: Going for Zero heart attacks and
strokes and Project Zero 2.0 is an important stride in that direction. A
massive education and awareness campaign has already been launched by Omron in
that respect. For every visitor that checks in at the Omron booth at CES, Omron donates a Blood Pressure Monitor to American Heart Association to be distributed in the community.
The device
is expected to hit the US market in Spring 2017 and is expected to be priced at
$ 300.
