Image
  Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most commonly measured health parameters today, yet its meaning, interpretation, and even the definition of “normal” have changed significantly over time . Modern medicine, global health bodies like the WHO, ancient Ayurveda, and now Artificial Intelligence (AI) all approach blood pressure from different—but increasingly complementary—angles.
