The Crushinator - Working Toward a Wearable Blood Pressure Watch

The video introduces a machine called the Crushinator, used to apply controlled pressure. It tests silicone pads for a new device to monitor blood pressure, mimicking the pressure of blood in an artery. Researchers aim to build a model arm with a fake artery to design a wearable blood pressure monitor.

What is the primary function of the crushinator?

How does the silicone pad in the crushinator relate to human anatomy?

What technology is used to measure pressure changes in the crushinator?

Describe the potential application of the model arm being developed by researchers.

In what way could the new blood pressure monitor be worn by users?
