Resumen

Small devices have become important objects for monitoring health, giving new opportunities to measure pressure without touching. This paper looks at new studies about the accuracy and how well small devices work for viewing blood pressure in larger people. The way to search for words like "small devices" and "older people", using Scopus as a primary basis. The findings show that although small devices have promising practicality and ease, there are still problems with calibration accuracy and validation standards in elderly groups. This study indicates the need to join forces between engineers, doctors and healthcare leaders to ensure the safe and effective use of these portable technologies and the care of the elderly.
