Sky Labs has officially launched CART BP, a new ring-shaped blood pressure monitor made for everyday use. It’s different from the usual arm cuff monitors because it’s worn on the finger and lets people track their blood pressure all day long, even while they sleep. The product has been approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) in South Korea and uses the same tested technology as the professional CART BP Pro, which is used in hospitals for checking blood pressure over a 24-hour period.

Most home blood pressure monitors use arm cuffs and can be bulky or uncomfortable to wear at night. CART BP is easier to use and can take accurate readings while you’re sleeping. This helps people keep an eye on their blood pressure in the early morning, which is important because high blood pressure spikes in the morning can lead to serious issues like strokes, heart attacks, and brain bleeds.

Users can check their blood pressure data using a simple mobile app that shows trends in a clear, easy-to-read way. One important part of the app is the “My Blood Pressure Calendar,” which displays average readings and changes over time and date, helping users notice long-term patterns. This lets people take better control of their heart health with personalized information.
CART BP is now available for sale on Sky Labs’ official website and major online stores like Naver Smart Store and Coupang. Before getting the device, customers will receive a sizing kit to make sure it fits properly.
Jack Byunghwan Lee, CEO of Sky Labs, said the main aim of CART BP is to bring hospital-level blood pressure technology to regular people. He explained that the device works well even during sleep, which is when many other monitors don’t perform as well. As part of the launch, Sky Labs is also starting a corporate social responsibility project. They plan to give CART BP devices to elderly people in rural or hard-to-reach areas where access to healthcare isn’t good. This helps improve early detection and long-term care for blood pressure-related health problems in these communities.
