SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sky Labs' CART BP, an innovative blood pressure monitoring device, has been recognized by the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) for its exceptional accuracy in both day and night measurements. This recognition, prominently featured in an official position paper led by Professor Kazuomi Kario of Japan's Jichi Medical University, underscores the potential of cuffless blood pressure technology to transform hypertension diagnosis and management.
Sky Labs, a health-tech startup based in South Korea, developed CART BP—the world's first ring-shaped, cuffless device designed for 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. Unlike conventional smartwatches, CART BP delivers more stable photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, ensuring highly accurate blood flow measurements through the finger. Wrist-based devices often struggle with accuracy due to variations in wrist size and sensor positioning. In contrast, CART BP offers multiple ring sizes for a customized fit, significantly improving measurement precision. Its accuracy has been rigorously validated in clinical trials.
The ISH position paper, endorsed by leading organizations such as the World Hypertension League (WHL), the European Society of Hypertension (ESH), the Asian Pacific Society of Hypertension (APSH), and the Latin American Society of Hypertension (LASH), highlights CART BP's promising results from multiple clinical trials. Based on these studies, the paper confirms that CART BP meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards and closely correlates with conventional Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) systems.
One of CART BP's most significant advantages is its ability to provide continuous, cuffless blood pressure monitoring, offering greater convenience compared to traditional devices. While intermittent readings in clinical settings can often be unreliable, CART BP ensures constant, unobtrusive monitoring, delivering valuable data throughout both day and night—making it an ideal tool for effective hypertension management.
Sky Labs remains committed to advancing wearable health technology, continually improving the accuracy and accessibility of blood pressure monitoring. This recognition from the ISH further solidifies CART BP's position as a leading solution in hypertension care, setting new benchmarks in patient monitoring and healthcare innovation.

MANAMA, Bahrain, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bahrain is gearing up to host the second edition of Gateway Gulf, which is scheduled for November 3 and November 4, 2024, at the Four Seasons Hotel, Bahrain Bay.

Hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB) with the support of senior government officials across the Kingdom's finance, investment and industry portfolio, the invitation-only forum will serve as a platform that encourages open dialogue, sustained economic growth, knowledge progression, and international economic integration. Featuring forward-looking plenary sessions and audience-tailored workshops, as well as a highly personalised agenda complete with private meetings, project site visits, and cultural experiences, Gateway Gulf 2024 will push the boundaries of business-as-usual, facilitating mutually beneficial and tangible investment opportunities. Attendees can expect to discover awakening insightful deliberations on how global trends are playing out in the region, how best to tackle universal concerns, and untapped opportunities that lie ahead.
In addition to highlighting key investment opportunities across the island nation's priority sectors, discussions at Gateway Gulf 2024 will revolve around the growing collaborative ties unifying the region, underscoring how co-investments can facilitate a more prosperous and sustainable future. In an era that is increasingly witnessing the defragmentation of supply chains, the forum will lay the groundwork for bridging a fractured world, shedding light on the achievements of the region in delivering action-oriented solutions for a brighter future.
Ushering in a new spirit of partnership, Gateway Gulf will host focused roundtables on the sidelines of the forum to ignite engaging and data-fueled discussions to address global challenges and maintaining prosperity across prime industry sectors.

With the non-oil sector contribution to GDP standing at 84% in 2023, Bahrain has earned its position as the most diversified economy in the Gulf. To maintain its positive trajectory of economic growth, the future-ready island nation has prioritized investing in the development of high-value sectors, its diverse human capital, digital transformation initiatives, and key infrastructure projects.
