Engineers have developed a simple 3D-printed attachment that clips over a smartphone’s camera and flash to measure blood pressure at the user’s fingertip. The clip works with a custom smartphone app and currently costs about 80 cents to make. Researchers say it could help make regular blood pressure monitoring easy, affordable and accessible to people in resource-poor communities.
