About Aktiia
Aktiia is now sold as Hilo, the brand the company adopted for its cuffless, continuous blood pressure monitoring system. The system has three parts: the Hilo Band, a medical grade wearable worn on the wrist that measures blood pressure around the clock; the Hilo Cuff, an upper arm cuff used for the initial calibration and periodic recalibration; and the Hilo App, which turns the readings into trends, personalized insights and reports that can be shared with a doctor. The job it does is replace occasional single readings with a continuous record that shows how sleep, stress, movement and recovery affect blood pressure.
It is built for people managing high blood pressure and for the clinicians who advise them. The app shows weekly and monthly averages, tracks time in target range, links readings to activity and sleep, and combines blood pressure with heart rate, step and sleep data. The band is CE certified as a Class IIa medical device and validated to the ISO 81060 standard, and the company points to four major clinical trials behind the technology.
On the Australian store the Hilo Band, supplied with the calibration cuff, costs AUD 119.99 and the 12 month Hilo Subscription costs AUD 199.99, giving a first year total of AUD 319.98. The subscription renews at AUD 199.99 per year and can be cancelled at any time. An active subscription is required: without one, access to new measurements and insights ends after 30 days.
The company was founded in 2018 to commercialize blood pressure research from CSEM and traded as Aktiia until it introduced the Hilo brand. The listing name reflects the earlier brand; the product sold today is Hilo.
