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

[Chris & Doris]

We recently bought a talking wrist blood pressure monitor at our 
local Aldi's for Euro 17.95, about US$25. It says that its accuracy 
can differ up to +/- 10% from a jprofessional unit but it's accurate 
enough to keep a record and notice any major changes in one's status.
The unit is very easy to use and fully accessible for its basic functions.
