[gui-talk] Talking blood pressure and pulse devices?

[Mike Freeman]

Joel:

Your inquiry would probably get more traction on "Electronics-talk". Nevertheless, when I looked into these devices several years ago, Consumer Reports didn't have much good to say about talking blood pressure monitors; their accuracy, like the accuracy of most home units, left a fair amount to be desired. If there are any talking pulse monitors available, however, I should imagine they'd be pretty accurate.

Things might have changed and the devices might have gotten more accurate since I checked on them.

Mike
