Hilo Band

The Hilo Band is a medical-grade wearable device designed for 24/7 blood pressure monitoring. It differentiates itself from traditional smartwatches by focusing exclusively on cardiovascular health, utilizing optical PPG sensors and Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) to track blood pressure trends throughout the day and night without requiring a manual inflatable cuff for every measurement.

The brand Hilo was developed and launched by Aktiia, a Swiss health-tech company founded by experts in micro-technology and signal processing. Aktiia's technology is the result of over 15 years of research at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM). While the company is headquartered in Switzerland, the product components and assembly typically involve a global supply chain including advanced electronics manufacturing frequently located in Asia to support high-tech medical certifications.
