It includes a sensor strapped to the wrist which can measure the pressure in the aorta, the main artery close to the heart, where high blood pressure does most damage. A sensor in the watch records the pulse wave of the artery, which is then fed into a computer together with a traditional blood pressure reading from a cuff. In most people the pressure in the aorta is 10mm Hg lower than in the arm, but in some, especially younger people, it is as much as 30mm Hg lower.
To measure pulse and heart rate, place two fingers on the wrist or other pulse location and press gently until a measurable beat is detected. Using a watch or clock, count the heart beats for 30 seconds, then double that number to get the pulse and heart rate per minute.hese individuals have a pulse that is lower than their heart rate. Other factors affecting heart rate and blood pressure include body mass, athleticism, obesity, medication, alcohol use, and smoking. For most people, each contraction produces a pulse, so the pulse is an effective way to measure heart rate.
