[Electronics-Talk] Talking Blood pressure monitor, any suggestions?

Sun Jan 15 20:16:50 UTC 2023

I have found the QardioArm to be accurate.  I take it with me for my annual
check-up and let the nurse take my blood pressure with both the monitor in
the doctor's office and my QardioArm.  Matter of fact, when I only had the
traditional talking monitor, I used to take that with me to my annual
appointment.

HTH,
Annette

How accurate is the QardioArm compared to a professional grade blood
pressure monitor used in a doctor's office?
