Dr. Suvrankar Datta, a physician-scientist and radiologist strongly criticised the device, said it has "zero scientific standing". “As a physician-scientist and one of the earliest researchers in arterial stiffness and pulse wave velocity (2017), which predicts cardiovascular mortality, I can assure you that this device currently has zero scientific standing as a useful device and do not waste your hard-earned money to buy fancy toys billionaires can afford to waste money on.” He posted on X.
