[Blindtlk] blood pressure monitoring via iPhone?

[Raymond Foret Jr]

Well, surely you will permit positive rants?  LOL.  Further use seems to demonstrate that the unit and app can be used together with a fair degree of success.  Blood pressure readings can be looked at in the reading history and you can accessibly select which readings you wish to transfer out via e-mail.  Then, when the e-mail button is double tapped, it opens  the mail app from which you can then send the e-mail and the readings themselves are in a p[lain text file which is sent out as a VSC or is it VCS or one of those weird extensions I’ve never heard of.  IN any case, point is this.  It’s quite usable.  Now, as to its medical accuracy, I cannot speak to that.

There are some screens, (the settings screens for example) which appear to not be readable but the main thing is that I can take readings, and transfer that data.  The one weak spot is the physical device itself.  You cannot set the date and time at all without seeing the screen and pairing is a little tricky because you do not pair in the standard way by going to settings/bluetooth and doing it that way.  You pair through the app itself.

Consequently, it seems prudent to be able to monitor my blood pressure.  I know I could get a unit from the NFB market center, but, my sister and her husband gifted me a relyon blood pressure cuff and a box which I guess you put batteries in and download the app to your  iPhone.  Any idea if this app is accessible or if not, can you suggest something that is?  I’d like to be able to say that I can rely on the bluetooth solution totally but not sure.  Thanks. >> >> >> Sent from the only computer with built-in screen
