    > One thing FDA clarified in the updated guidance is that companies can release products that use sensors to “estimate, infer, or output” blood pressure and blood glucose readings without approval, if they are intended for wellness purposes. In a speech at the Consumer Electronics Show the day the guidance was announced, the FDA commissioner at the time, Marty Makary, said his agency would “get out of the way” of products that weren’t making medical or clinical claims. “This reduces the amount of subjectivity by regulators and guesswork by developers,” he said.

    This is "wellness but not intended for medical use" but I think will be very popular on the market and drive a lot of visits to MDs based on device bp readings.
