Each episode focuses on a specific development: how continuous glucose monitors are changing diabetes management, the FDA's latest clearance for an AI-driven ECG algorithm, or the business models behind telehealth startups like Ro and Hims & Hers. Lucas brings a journalist's precision to the numbers — market sizes, clinical trial results, reimbursement rates — while Luna challenges him on the real-world impact for clinicians and patients. They dissect earnings reports from Apple and Fitbit, parse policy moves from the FDA and CMS, and debate whether VC-funded digital health unicorns can sustain their valuations. Listeners — healthcare professionals, investors, tech strategists — get a clear-eyed briefing on what works, what's hype, and what's next in a sector where staying informed means understanding both the science and the business. How do you separate signal from noise when every startup claims to democratize healthcare? #DigitalHealth #Wearables #HealthTech #Telemedicine #FDA #RemotePatientMonitor…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-20T20:20:38.160520+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006"},"episode":{"title":"How Wearable Blood Pressure Monitors Are Changing Hypertension Care","slug":"how-wearable-blood-pressure-monitors-are-changing-hypertension-care","published_at":"2026-06-09T20:24:36+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006/how-wearable-blood-pressure-monitors-are-changing-hypertension-care","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-digital-health-podcast-with-fexingo-wearables-diagnostics-and-health-software-7872006","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-digital-health-podcast/episode-0041.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-digital-health-podcast/episode-0041.mp3","summary":"Hypertension affects nearly half of US adults, yet most people only get their blood pressure checked during a doctor's visit. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how wearable blood pressure monitors — from cuff-based devices to optical sensors — are shifting hypertension management from occasional office readings to continuous, real-world data. They examine the technology behind Aktiia's optical blood pressure monitor, which uses photoplethysmography for calibration-free continuous tracking, and compare it to traditional ambulatory monitoring. The hosts discuss the clinical validation process, the FDA's evolving stance on non-invasive blood pressure wearables, and what this means for primary care, remote patient monitoring, and the trillion-dollar cardiovascular disease market. If you're building in digital health or managing a chronic condition yourself, this episode offers a grounded look at which innovations are real and which are still lab projects. #WearableBloodPressure #Hypertension #Aktiia #DigitalHealth #RemotePatientMonitoring #CardiovascularHealth #FDA #Photoplethysmography #HealthTech #BloodPressureMonitoring #ContinuousMonitoring #Business #Technology #ChronicDiseaseManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HealthInnovation #MedTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Hypertension affects nearly half of US adults, yet most people only get their blood pressure checked during a doctor's visit.
