Is a blood pressure monitor patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a blood pressure monitor have been patented many times, but "a blood pressure monitor" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What our index shows
  • 1,414 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “blood pressure monitormeasur” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).
  • Among the 903 best keyword matches we examined, 425 were published in 2020 or later, and the earliest was published in 2000.
  • Most frequent assignees in those matches: OMRON HEALTHCARE CO LTD (136), OMRON TATEISI ELECTRONICS CO (53), KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS NV (26), EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CORP (23).
  • Most common patent classes (CPC subclasses): A61B (888), G16H (94), G06F (16), A61M (16).

Counts come from keyword matching on titles and abstracts, so they are indicative, not a legal count. Some matches are different products that share a word.

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a blood pressure monitor been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Health and fitness devices are dense with sensor and wearable patents; compare the sensing method, mounting, and what feedback is given.
