Focus: Problem Solving, Form Development, Market/User Research, RenderingTime: Spring 2025 | 8 Weeks Blood Pressure Monitor
The 3 AM Blood Pressure Watch is designed for individuals who struggle to measure their blood pressure in inconvenient environments. It offers an easy and reliable way to stay on top of their health, with a comfortable design that can be worn overnight and seamlessly integrates with daily health tracking. 01 Research
The Fact
Over 1.2 billion people worldwide live with high blood pressure, and many need to measure it every single day to stay safe.
But
A lot of people cannot carry a BPM due to the work environment and work, so they cannot measure their blood pressure.
How might we……
Leverage emerging technology to develop an advanced blood pressure monitor that is comfortable and seamlessly integrates with health tracking.
Instead of carrying a traditional BPM
What if your watch could also be your
personal health tracker?

“Design Process”
I aimed to design a blood pressure monitor that prioritizes user convenience. Initially, I considered a robotic device and a hospital-grade monitor, but I realized these options would limit users to indoor or clinical environments. To enable easy, everyday use—especially outside the home—I ultimately decided to develop a wearable watch-style device.
The final concept feature is coming with a compact inflatable cuff integrated into the watch band. I also decided to add a custom LED on the screen to alert users about their health status. The monitor unit is easy to detach and charge from the side during the nighttime.
03 Presentation
A watch that effortlessly becomes part of your everyday health tracking.
24-Hour Health Status
The 3 AM Watch allows users to remove the monitoring unit for separate wireless charging at night, while still wearing the band for comfort. This enables continuous health tracking overnight, and the device can be easily reattached in the morning for daily use
