Oura Health Oy, the Finnish smart ring maker, is the latest wearable company seeking to move into blood pressure monitoring.

On Monday, the startup said it plans to launch a Blood Pressure Profile study later this year, designed to detect early signs of hypertension — or elevated blood pressure — without displaying actual systolic or diastolic readings, as part of efforts to develop a future consumer feature. The study will track users’ data without a traditional cuff and provide information to help users better understand their potential risk levels.
