The one drawback LeBouef mentions is that high blood pressures may not fully read properly: After a systolic pressure reading of 180 (which is super high, meaning you should see a cardiologist right away), specific readings beyond that may not be as accurate.  But at that point, you&#8217;d know in theory that your blood pressure was still high.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image-large pull-none hasCaption shortcode\" section=\"shortcodeImage\"><span class=\"imageContainer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/f8640714799f8953390c3fd83cc1de17cbeaef30\/hub\/2023\/01\/04\/ac08eeea-7482-47e9-b430-f0d2d9572963\/valencell-blood-pressure-finger-3.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&#038;ssl=1\" class=\" lazy\" alt=\"Inside an opened-up finger clip health device\" height=\"900\" width=\"1200\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/f8640714799f8953390c3fd83cc1de17cbeaef30\/hub\/2023\/01\/04\/ac08eeea-7482-47e9-b430-f0d2d9572963\/valencell-blood-pressure-finger-3.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"\" alt=\"Inside an opened-up finger clip health device\" height=\"900\" width=\"1200\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/noscript><\/span><figcaption><span class=\"caption\"><\/p>\n<p>A look inside the prototype: A single PPG sensor handles the measurement.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                                                    Scott Stein\/CNET<br \/>\n                                                <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Valencell is targeting around $99 for the price, although the prototype I used is still being developed, and things could change.
