About the product
Lifelight turns smartphones* into BP monitoring devices that can be embedded into any native app.
Helping to fight Europe’s biggest killer
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is the leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality worldwide.⁵ In England it is estimated that for every 10 people diagnosed with hypertension another 7 remain undiagnosed and untreated.⁸
By making it easy for everyone to check and MEASURE their blood pressure, Lifelight can provide early detection of hypertension and help fight Europe’s biggest killer.
“Lifelight is estimated to save over £300m a year for NHS reinvestment, if used in GP surgeries alone”.

Lifelight is unique:
No Contact
No Calibration
Easily integrated
Fully scalable
No discomfort of the cuff
clinically validated
Improving efficiency and saving money
Lifelight can reduce workload pressure in primary and secondary care environments through:
Fewer care home and home visits
The average GP surgery makes 27 home and 13 care home visits every week.² Lifelight can be made available to frequent users of either service to reduce need and ensure that time spent is used more effectively where they do take place.
Reduced anxiety
‘White coat’ syndrome affects up to 30% of the population³ and can cause blood pressure to increase due to the stress of being in a medical setting. Lifelight can help reduce this anxiety and generate savings of up to £10.5m⁴ by removing the need for a cuff.
Health data captured easily and quickly
Use Lifelight measurements alongside other data captured in your platform to achieve desired outcomes.
Clinically Validated Performance
Lifelight has been assessed in eight different clinical trials over the last five years and has been published in several cardio publications.
All age groups and blood pressure ranges included
Lifelight research included spot-check estimates of adult patients (paediatric use in roadmap).⁹ We also tested at the extremes of hyper/hypo tension.¹⁰
Secure data processing
Lifelight anonymises data and processes it in the cloud to ensure greater security.
Applicable to all
Lifelight can be used for all skin tones as determined by the Fitzpatrick skin type scale.⁶
Already used in clinical environments
Lifelight is being used by the UK’s National Health Service and is available to 1,700 primary care practices as a ‘software as a service’.
Technology is mature
Lifelight has taken over seven years to develop, achieved four international patents (with more pending) and is the subject of seven peer reviewed papers.
Regulatory Approved
Lifelight has CE Class IIa device status under EU MDR for BP and pulse.⁷
Uses tech the user already owns
Lifelight works on mobile devices.*
