Blood Pressure App.

It sounds feasible, although I have no knowledge of this app. I bought a sphygmomanometer because they are cheap enough and have a proven pedigree.

If you are really concerned about your blood pressure, buy a machine. Use it about the same time every day so you get an accurate baseline. Then you can take action if your pressure is alarmingly different. I would not trust a phone on the chest.

You cannot rely on these apps (there are several of them) because they cannot possibly measure your actual systolic/diatolic pressure in the way described. The only really reliable way of measuing your blood pressure is with the traditional cuff which measures the minimum air pressure required to stop the flow of blood in the arm and the maximum air pressure in the cuff when the flow starts again. The app claims to be able to calculate the blood pressure when the index finger covers the camera lens and the flash and when the phone is pressed against the chest. There is no stopping and starting of the blood flow and therefore there can be no real measurement of blood pressure.. Such apps are toys at best and complete scams at worst. They may be able to measure a heart rate accurately but heart rate and blood pressure have no direct connection, so any reading indicating 'blood pressure' can only be an estimate at its best and could be seriously misleading.

I don't believe on the app but would like to buy a machine to monitor blood pressure. That's a good idea that now you are conscious about your health and daily monitoring it.

This is my first time hearing about this. It sounds interesting

I'd go with the machine. I think they are very reasonably priced if you search a bit online. My husband uses his a lot and has certainly had his money's worth out of it.

Hmm I would be leary if that app!

I wouldn't trust its accuracy. I know that Apple is working on one for their smart watches.

I don't see how the app thing could be accurate @Kandae11 . I have a BP monitor that just goes around the wrist.

BP machines are as accurate as a doctor's and very inexpensive. I'd stick with the machine.

Sounds like a scam.

Nah I haven't heard of it... No I don't have any health goal..

I think this app is not working. cause impossible we can check our blood pressure without medic research.

These apps can be very inaccurate. A machine will be better but of course that depends on the budget :)

I think the machine would be more accurate.

I have not used this App. May be you can try it for some time. As for authenticity, probably a doctor can verify that. Yes, I plan to curb some of my habits like drinking more tea at times, tendency to have more sweet things at times, and also try to exercise more.

I still doubt its accuracy. For 2018, as usual, my target is to reach perfect health.

I wouldn't trust a phone app, the machines are so so inexpensive it is worth investing in one.

I would invest in the actually machine. I do not know how a phone could do that.

Is this machine really working
