QardioArm Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor: Easy to Use Smart Upper Bluetooth Arm Cuff. App Enabled for iOS, Android, Apple Watch.

I suffer from high blood pressure. The doctor asked me to keep regular measurements so I bought a regular blood pressure monitor thinking the problem would go away. Unfortunately blood pressure isn't like a cold. Especially for someone like me who doesn't smoke, drink etc. This may be just me, but I found using a traditional blood pressure monitor and tracking the number cumbersome and put me off doing it. I finally gave in a decided to get the much more expensive smart monitor. I read reviews for this one and the Withings one, the Withings looked nicer but was a bit more expensive. I read a number of 5 star reviews of both and struggled to decide which one to get. I then read some 1 start reviews. 1 star complaints with this one were with it being a bit odd way of registering the monitor with phones and other minor issues the Withings 1 star reviews were complaining about the accuracy of the readings themselves. This one is also approved by FDA etc, I can put up with it of fidilyness for accurate readings. However I never had any problems using it. The batteries were dead when it arrived though, which is irritating, but I saw a review complaining about this too. I have been using it for over a week now and it is great. Much quicker and easier than a traditional BP monitor. It integrates really nicely with heath kit and shows my manually recorded readings. It allows you to put comment describing how you are feeling when you take BP and automatically records where you were too using your phone location (my BP is much higher at work than home). It shows you your BP readings on the World Health Organisation chart which makes it easier to understand your BP readings. You can also do things like email report to doctor which includes summary of results and full details in attachment. It also has a nice feature where it automatically take a number of readings in a row with a short gap between to try and get a more accurate reading. Which the nurse and doctor always do, but it does it automatically. It can also show your slideshow from the photos on your phone to help keep you be relaxed during the measurement. Really nice product I wish I had bought it months ago! One final tip. I found that different colours on the Amazon page were differently priced. I got the gold one because it was £15 cheaper than the other colours! Worth looking out for.

I am at that age when your health starts to show signs that your past 'sins' start catching up with your body. Two incidents hit me hard - my annual checkup in July 2018 and my holiday in August 2018. I had no family history of diabetes and yet, my blood tests showed I was in the pre-diabetic range during my checkup. During my holidays, my BP shot through the roof. Even though I was never diagnosed as hypertensive, I was at the top end of the pre-hypertensive range while on holidays! These were made worse by my weight which was at 95.8 kgs in August 2018. What was positive was that my GP advised me that I am not yet at that stage where these hiccups become permanent and everything can be reversed. So, having made a commitment to live a healthy lifestyle and reverse all those bad 'health metrics', I knew it is critical to measure vital personal health data points like my blood pressure. While we have an excellent BP measuring home unit, I wanted a unit that allows me to monitor, to record, and to have the facility to send aggregate data to my GP. After a quick look around of units and reviews given, I chose the QardioArm. This has been so far one of the best purchases I have made to date. After measuring my BP a couple of times and finding the results concur with the readings from our home unit and when I had my BP taken from our practice, I knew this product will help me measure my BPs and track progress. Since then, I started aiming for doing 10000 steps at least 3x to 4x a week, exercise at least 3x a week, and watched my food intake. The results are in the pictures attached. You can see where my BP started (Oct 2018) and where I am now (Nov 2018). The weight has also gone down too (from 95.8 kgs to 89.9 kgs). For me it is a no brainer. Buy it while the price is at these levels (£99 RRP now at £74. I bought the unit when it was £82 but I never regretted the purchase.) Excellent features: -> Triple measurement average to allow for the most accurate readings -> Connects seamlessly with the IOS app -> Gives you reminders when to take it and same reminders synchronizes with your IOS devices -> A single unit can be used by several individuals in the family (I read up to 10 individuals provided they have a copy of the app). I can confirm two different persons use the unit and app everyday. -> Portable and you can carry it anywhere as the size is just right -> Allows you to add your notes to allow you to have more insights when your measurements were taken -> For each result, shows where the result falls, i.e, optimal, normal, Grade-1 Hypertension, Grade-2 Hypertension, etc. -> Ability to share results with your GP immediately via email What can be improved on - -> The cuffs can be a bit fiddly when fitting it but once you get used to it, fitting becomes easier.

Straight out of the box this looks like something Apple designed, the packaging is slick and solid with the obligatory’Quick Start’ leaflet and accompanying hefty warranty booklet. Downloading the app was simple and in a few steps I had the unit set up. Yes you need to set up an account to use it, but as the NHS will soon share my data I’m not that worried. Pro’s : it works, it just works. No problem with Bluetooth, the unit activates when unrolled (make sure your phone is already on the app when you unroll the unit as it wakes and connects faster) readings are quick and load straight to the phone with a handy graph to help you visualise highs and lows. Con’s : the pump motor sounds somewhat light weight during use, nothing like my older Omron unit. The cuff can be fiddly to position to the right tension one handed. You need to roll the cuff around the unit in the same way it came packaged as this shuts off the battery and wakes the unit for each use, no, not good for people who don’t want to pack it up each time. It works with apple health ok, so far I have had consistent readings without issue so overall it’s a game changer because the readings are syncing with my phone and don’t require me to manually input them into anything.

I received the QardioArm Blood Pressure Monitor and paired it with the Qardio app on my Apple watch - a very quick and easy procedure. However, that was the only quick and easy aspect of using the QardioArm. It continuously failed to inflate on my arm giving a z6 error and no matter how many times I refitted and moved the cuff it would not inflate fully. I found that the QardioArm worked sporadically with my watch but not at all with my Iphone. The hassle of trying to make the monitor work resulted in a noticeable hike in my blood pressure when I had to use my trusty old Omron to record my BP readings. I only tried for four days, replacing the batteries twice in case they were to blame. I managed 5 BP readings over the four days before returning the unit to Amazon. I contacted QardioArm Support but never received a reply - shameful. Oh, and also, I purchased the case to store my QardioArm which being no longer required I am unable to return to Amazon. Do yourself a favour and give this piece of trash a wide berth.

Saw this in an exhibition at the Design Museum recently. As I suffer from high blood pressure and travel a lot I was intrigued by the small form-factor and the fact that it is wireless. I have had the product for a couple of weeks now and I have to say it is great. Easy to carry around - much more portable than my previous device. Having the readings stored automatically on my iPhone (5s) is great and meant I could easily show the recent history to my doctor during my checkup a few days ago. As for the app - it seems pretty good. I’ve tried the reminders but don’t actually find them that useful as I tend to remember in the evening anyway and am often too rushed to check in the morning (it’s usually not a question of needing to be reminded). The app keeps a history list as well as showing a graph that keeps track of your average reading. Also something I only just discovered is the ability to automatically take a few readings in succession and record the average. You can set how many readings it will take (up to a maximum of three) and the interval between them - the Qardio app then takes care of the rest. This should lead to even more accurate readings. A nice touch. I have two final comments: 1 - The build quality would get a 9/10 as there seems to be a few gaps and a bit of flex in my particular device - more than I would like to see. 2 - Although the idea is that the armband acts as a wraparound protector (which it does pretty well) I would still like to have a case as well particularly for when travelling (but I guess that is not something that many people would care so much about). So in summary - definitely a great product for anyone that needs to monitor their blood pressure on a regular basis. I hope it is sturdy enough to cope with the battering it will no doubt get as I travel around but only time will tell.

This is a well built compact machine backed up by decent software and support which is so often lacking in other products. To get optimal accuracy, I have mine set-up to automatically take 3 readings at 30 second intervals and take an average. It logs this to a history file, so you can check your current reading on an easy to use graph and then compare over time. We purchased another of these for an elderly relative in her eighties who had been asked to monitor her pressure several times a day. She had another monitor but it didn't have logging. With guidance over the phone I was able to show her how to share a block or readings with her doctors, which she has repeated independently with the doctors on several occasions, she finds it really easy to use. The practice were so impressed with the ease reporting that they are now considering getting a few of these units themselves to use as loans for their other patients. Once you buy one you can get a discount on future purchases.

Brilliant product for home use. It’s accurate and easy to use. Results show grata trending and have helped me change my lifestyle to the point stress is being managed weight being lost and salt intake reduced. Didn’t really need this it appears but the shock of having high blood pressure at a routine doc appointment compelled me to buy this. Turned out to be nothing, but that was only proven through use of this. So we’ll worth the peace of mind.

The doctor required me to monitor my blood pressure for a week but as I travel I couldn't use the NHS surgery ones. So after research this had the best online reviews (as did Omron). The clincher for me was weight (50% lighter than Omron), portability, accuracy (same as Omron) but in Amazon the white version was selling at a fantastic price (£65). I was a bit concerned with the negative reviews on Amazon (batteries, won't turn on etc etc) but in all honesty these are unfounded. The instructions were clear and it worked straight out of the box. I've been impressed. Taken it overseas as at 300gms it's about same as my iPhone plus and case and charger. They recommend setting up for three readings and I've set to 45 second intervals. This means it takes around 4 minutes to take a set (20 secs to inflate, 25 analysis, 45 interval). Just simple. It can take readings over clothes but it's worth taking off thick clothing like jumpers etc. One thing it doesn't have is a case. That is an omission as it is meant to be travel friendly, but this was easily rectified as it fits perfectly in a neoprene satnav sleeve (£5 - £8 from Halfords if in UK!) So measurements are sorted now to sort my blood pressure out!

Mit diesem Gerät habe ich meinen Blutdruck gut im Griff. Unkompliziert in der Handhabung. Eine Empfehlung wert! Klasse Messgerät. App geht super über App-Store zum herunterladen.

Très facile à utiliser, application en français, avec de nombreuses mises à jour. J'aime aussi beuacoup le design de ce tensiomètre qui change des autres. Quant aux données, elles semblent correctes.

I guess the best in market Only drawback is service, although I will try and contact the seller if they can help. Bought a second one for myself (the first not working for some reason), and now getting a third for my parents. Love the project, absolutely easy to use and the best part is the software maintains a chart. Hope I get service though. My suggestion go for it!
