UPDATE: Thank you all for your responses. I was checking to see if I could use it as a less expensive 'hospital type' monitor for a relative who is bedridden. I wanted to be able to see and hear the pulse/heartbeat/vitals, etc. OLD: Is there an "always...

The machine takes a snapshot reading. It does not monitor BP over a continuous period. However, as soon as one reading is done you can take another and the machine will remember and display all the readings, along with the date/time of each.

Yes, but only in 2 of the 6 display modes. There are 4 horizontal modes, and you can choose to have larger numbers or the pleth waves. If you choose the pleth, you can further choose to have it displayed on top or bottom. The wave is nice to see the amplitude of your pulse, and graphically display an irregular heartbeat.

I honestly don't know. As for me, I really didn't get this for use as an oximeter. I have frequent irregular heartbeat so I wanted it for the graphic monitoring of pulserate, and for that purpose it works beautifully.

I don't feel the heart rate monitor is accurate or practical. While moving I am unable to get any readout. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone looking for something more than a time piece.

Yes. No. Yes. No. Or I guess but what exactly "continuous heart monitoring" mean? Think about it. I mean really think about it.. Unlike most smart watches employ this heart heart tracking feature but not advertised as "continuous..." Not trying to be blunt but I couldve asked better questions than that.

Since the monitor picks up your pulse, I'd suggest that if it's not showing a regular beat, then go get a heart check-up. It's just my thought that it would give an irregular pulse rate.I just finished trying it on my husband, who DOES have an irregular heart beat & the little heart shows a "blip" every 3 beats, which would definitely be his irregular heart beat. Hope that helps. Just watch the little heart on your monitor.

I don't have a precise answer on that, I know that it does detect an irregular heartbeat and will display a symbol, and it does store up to 90 readings of bp readings. I've had it for several years and it works great. I would have to consult the manual. If I find something out quickly, I will send the answer.

I have a separate video monitor that connects to my phone. What I like about having it separate is that I'm not obsessively checking the video. If I hear a noise, I can pull up the video to see what's going on. Also, what's cool about these is that you can set sensitivity level so if your baby is a "loud sleeper" you can set it to lower sensitivity to only pick up when baby is actually crying rather than normal baby noises.

Pretty expensive for a baby monitor but you could if you wanted to. There are some pretty good "baby monitors" made just for watching your baby even at night. I would check Amazon under baby monitors. Now if you are planning on having just one camera watching the baby and the rest monitoring the rest of the house, then I don't see a problem, you could use this system for that very purpose.

That's what I'm using it for. I have SVT. it has color peak rate settings you can adjust via the app.

Amy, That's not one of the "things" you can monitor and keep track of. I had a quick search but I'm not seeing any devices that will do this. Doesn't mean one does not exist, just I could not find it. Nigel.

I just tested it with Motorola. But from what I have researched, is not compatible with other heart monitors.

It is supposed to have heartbeat and 02 but I could not get either to work on two separated units. One or both of those were not real-time, I *think* both were not real time. There were *supposed* to be images on the display that you pressed but I could not get the display to work and all the original and replacement unit ever did for me was count steps.

Dear Sir: My wife has a minor COPD which does not need critical measurements, therefore this monitor is sufficient for her. If you have a critical need for more accuracy, a much more accurate measurement device should be procured. So, I would do a little research & procure a higher quality device. I wish you luck. I know how restrictive the lack of oxygen is and hope you find a more critical device for your critical needs.

It has a little heart that shows your pulse, if you watch it carefully, you could catch irregularites IF they were not hidden like extened q-r length or s-t segments. Basically it would show only the regularity of the beat, which you could get just as well if not better taking your own pulse and feeling for any skipped or fast beats. I would buy a stethoscope, which they have here on Amazon at very reasonable prices. I used to be an EMT and EKG Tech. I got both on this site and am very happy with the quality and professionalism they show.

Heart monitor works as well as polar or any other monitors I have used. If you want to use "peak fitness" techniques, this is probably useful.

Ugh... As a medical professional myself, I would say it's not the best option. For one, it's a little bulky to hold with one hand and an instrument in the other and ;two, it's battery operated with no AC/DC power cable direct. But iaff you're in the field or backwoods somewhere and have an assistant, it has the power to illuminate the a hole in a human being (sarcasm). I use it for night spotting wildlife, night rides on the boat, and camping.
