6 Reasons Why You Need A Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor

Do you get nervous when you go to the doctor’s office? I do, my wife does, and I know my mom really does. This isn’t a knock on the person at all, it can be a scary, confusing and uncertain experience. A lot of the time, the doctor and their staff can make the experience more manageable, but even then, the nerves still start going.

It is very common for someone to go in for a doctor’s visit and for their blood pressure to measure much higher than it would if they were truly comfortable and calm. For someone who has these nerves act up, it can cause incorrect diagnoses and include being prescribed the incorrect medications, or amount of medication.

If you are on any medication to help control your blood pressure, then taking it and keeping records of it in the comfort of your own home is something that should be of utmost importance to you. We just had a chance to review an at home blood pressure monitor made by the fine people at iHealth. The iHealth View – a Wireless Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor makes this process very simple and easy.

Here are some of the reasons why you need an at home, wireless blood pressure monitor.

• Instant on screen results – connect to your phone or tablet and you can see your measurements immediately on the screen.
• Highest accuracy – the iHealth View is clinically tested & FDA approved.
• Chart your results – this is my favorite, connect with the iHealth app and you can chart and see all of your data. This is excellent to share with your caregivers to help spot anomalies and identify trends which can lead to a more accurate diagnosis.
• Share your results – take all of your data history and create a PDF in your app to share it with family and caregivers via email or print.

Once you press the start button, sit still with your wrist level with your heart and feet still and on the floor and there you go, you will be done in a jiffy and you will have your results recorded in the cloud for future access.
