In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, Omron Healthcare stands at the forefront of the transformative movement in healthcare technology, ushering in new and innovative ways of home blood pressure management for Filipinos and everyone around the world.
The healthcare situation in the Philippines exhibits the increasing need for effective home blood pressure management, given the prominence of ischemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and hypertension as among the leading causes of death. Recognizing this pressing need, 2024 is poised to mark significant strides in home blood pressure management, underscoring a shift toward more sophisticated and integrated medical solutions.
