[Electronics-Talk] Talking Bloodpressure Monitors

Tue May 28 18:40:18 UTC 2019

If you have an iPhone, I have read many positive reviews about the Qardio 
Arm upper arm BP machine.  It connects to your iPhone via bluetooth and 
works in conjunction with an app.  The app controls the device, thus, no 
cable, and the app is accesible.  you can store readings, and I believe it 
has the capability of sharing the info with your doctor.
