Cover Picture: Telehealth has seen rapid adoption in the past three years as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conventional methods for the measurement of vital signs are neither optimized for remote care nor highly scalable. Blood pressure is a critical vital parameter that currently cannot be measured remotely. Cameras are versatile and capable sensors that can be repurposed to measure vital signs. In this article, we review the use of cameras for remote photoplethysmography and assessment of blood pressure. We discuss the principles behind this technology and the current evidence for blood pressure measurement. We also explore future applications and potential challenges to provide a roadmap for researchers, clinicians, and regulators considering this new technology.
