What is hypertension risk?

Summary
Hypertension Risk corresponds to the percentage of people with the subject’s risk profile who are diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure) by their doctor.

Hypertension Risk corresponds to the percentage of people with the subject’s risk profile who are diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure) by their doctor.

The risk profile is based on the subject’s facial blood flow (using Transdermal Optical Imaging) and their profile information (biological sex at birth, age, height, weight).

Moment-to-moment fluctuations in the subject's physiology mean that their risk estimates could vary to some degree from one measurement to the next. The best estimate of the subject's overall risk is therefore obtained by averaging several measurements throughout the day and across several days to adequately account for this physiological variation.
