Expert judges determining the best of the best in healthcare innovation recognized OMRON Healthcare for its blood pressure monitors with AI-powered AFib detection
Judges in the prestigious Digital Health Hub Foundation 2025 Digital Health Awards recognized OMRON Healthcare as the Best in Class Winner in the Home Health Diagnostics & Monitoring category for its breakthrough blood pressure monitors with AI-powered AFib detection.
The Digital Health Awards, which honor the best of the best in healthcare innovation, heralded OMRON’s evolution of the blood pressure monitoring experience. In a medical device first, OMRON blood pressure monitors featuring IntelliSense™ AFib detection automatically screen for atrial fibrillation during every blood pressure measurement and can provide early detection of elevated risk for a high stroke1, heart failure2, and dementia risk3.
“Our OMRON Healthcare team is thrilled to accept this Best in Class Digital Health Award,” said Alice Koehler, Managing Director of OMRON Healthcare North America. “The digital health category is rapidly maturing and there was a record-setting number of entrants in the competition this year. Thank you to the judges for recognizing our achievement in innovation that empowers people to take charge of their health.”
“OMRON applied more than 50 years of collaboration with doctors and service to consumers to develop this breakthrough technology,” said Koehler. “The latest AHA and ACC blood pressure guidelines urge regular blood pressure monitoring at home and earlier intervention on hypertension, especially for those over age 40 and for expectant moms throughout pregnancy.”
“Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is widely undiagnosed. The health risks of AFib increase for those with high blood pressure and women in menopause. With OMRON IntelliSense™ AFib detection, we are helping people act on this condition earlier than ever before,” added Koehler.
OMRON blood pressure monitors with IntelliSense™ AFib detection include the OMRON Platinum BP5465, OMRON 10 Series® BP7465, , OMRON Gold BP5360, and OMRON 7 Series® BP7360. These clinically validated blood pressure monitors are listed on the U.S. Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing (VDL), and sync with the OMRON connect app which tracks user readings, analyzes trends and habits, presents insights to explain data, and provides daily reminders and progress reports.
OMRON’s IntelliSense™ AFib detection incorporates over 300 mathematical indices into a machine-learning algorithm that analyzes the pressure pulse wave generated as the blood pressure monitor cuff inflates. A study published in the October 2024 Heart Rhythm Journal4 found that OMRON blood pressure monitors with the Intellisense™ AFib algorithm can detect disturbances specific to AFib with remarkable accuracy.
The FDA granted OMRON medical device authorization for Intellisense™ AFib via the agency’s De Novo classification5, a regulatory pathway for first-of-their-kind innovations.6
