'''Blood pressure''' describes the pressure of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels which is mostly a result of the heart pumping. Typically blood pressure is given through two values: The "systolic pressure" – which is the highest pressure during a heart beat – and the "diastolic pressure" – which is the lowest pressure between two heart beats. Blood pressure is a key vital sign used to evaluate health, alongside [[Tools for heart rate or pulse|heart rate]], [[Body temperature tracking|body temperature]], [[respiratory rate]] and [[oxygen saturation]] <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure</ref>.

Smart Bands may be able to do it using Pulse Wave Velocity<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_wave_velocity</ref>, which measures the time between [[ECG]] pulse and [[Pulse oximetry]]. [[Fitbit]] recently started a study for customers that use a ''Fitbit Sense'' to evaluate whether this is feasible<ref>https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/fitbit-begins-smartwatch-blood-pressure-tracking-study</ref>.
