Back in 2007, I had the privilege of being by my beloved grandma's side. At 79 years old, she had battled high blood pressure for 20 years. Every week, we made the journey to the hospital together for her blood pressure checks. One day, I decided to surprise her with a digital blood pressure monitor from the samples I had. When I showed her how to use it, her eyes sparkled with curiosity and gratitude. She was thrilled by the convenience, realizing she no longer had to endure frequent hospital visits.
As she embraced me with eyes full of love, I felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. That simple act of showing her how to use the monitor had made a tremendous difference in her life. It was in that moment that I truly understood the power of compassion and how even the smallest gestures can profoundly impact those we care about.
Soon, more and more people in the village came to our home to measure their blood pressure. It became clear that chronic diseases were common and that effective monitoring tools were lacking. This experience inspired me to dedicate my career to the at-home preventive health measures industry, committed to supporting those in need.
