[Electronics-Talk] Talking blood pressure monitors

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a blood pressure monitor that works in conjunction with
the iPhone.
It is called Qardio Arm and fits on the upper arm. It is battery operated
and connects via Bluetooth to the iPhone.

I like the unit because it is very portable and easy to travel with. The
instructions are easy to follow, and the app works well with VoiceOver.
The app also saves your measurements and will even email them to your doctor
if you choose that option. VoiceOver also reads the prompts for starting the
measurements and so forth. VoiceOver also will let you know when the
measurement is complete and when the blood pressure reading is available.
It cost $99 and I purchased it from the flexible spending account store
which is online. I had some funds remaining in my FSA account,and  I needed
to use them before the end of 2017.

Best

Liz

Hi,
I just bought a upper arm talking Blood Pressure machine from Amazon.
Just do a search.
It comes with 4 AAA batteries or you can connect a micro plug charging wire
to use it on electric.
It has 3 good buttons and has talk assist and plays music to calm you.
It also comes with a very heavy zipper case.
Its the best low price talking machine I have bought.
Hopes this helps.
From, tom
