I want to know if this device would work to take 24-hours automatic blood pressure tests, I mean every hour during one day. Thanks

I do not think it will function automatically,I did not use mine but twice. I returned it because the USB connector was so fragile it failed quickly. I am an electrical engineer and believe the designe is quite poor.

My best answer would be "NO". You have to put the cuff on and start the test when you want a test. I would not say you can put the cuff on and get a test every hour for 24 hours. You would always have to start the test. Not much automatic about this tester.

My husband is in severe heart failure. He uses this device daily, as recommended by his cardiologist. If he had a low reading, he would then know to call "Dr Heart". It's a safeguard to let a patient know to seek further guidance from his doctor.

No, the device does work like that. Most device have a combination of vitals are expensive (i.e. heart rate, O2, etc.) This inexpensive item is per usage. Thanks,

The pamphlet suggested a minimum of one-hour at each sitting and two sittings per day but that was not a medical opinion. Check with your therapist or doctor for recommendations for you. There is a timer on the device in 20 minute increments and the pressure dial is in increments of 10. we set ours at 40 pressure, the same as the lymphedema sleeves we use. It works well if you are consistent with it. No miracle cure however.

I've been using iHealth to take blood pressure and heart rate readings for about 7-10 days now, and they seem to have all been automatically imported into the OS8 Health app. I don't remember doing anything to set that up.

My eye doctor used this model to measure my blood pressure during my recent visit and it worked great! My wrist measures 5.25 inches. I was so impressed with it that I am going to get one for my mom.

It works like an automatic blood pressure machine, it progressively pumps up all the air cushions for a duration of your choice (from 20 sec to 60 sec), then releases the pressure (during like 5 seconds), then do it again, in loop, until 20 minutes, so you can let it go like that without touching any button for 20 minutes, then the machine stops automatically. According to how you plug the plastic wires blowing air (from the machine to the cushions), it can pump the combination of cushion of your choice (legs, thighs, etc... any kind of combination is possible).

I did research and found through the American Heart Society, a list of all of the approved and trusted blood pressure machines. This was one of them. I am not expert, and if you want more accurate information contact your doctor or do further research.

My husband has used it to lower his blood pressure and it has worked really well for him. I went and bought the machine for my friend and my brother as well. They both love it! So, the answer is YES. :) I use it to meditate and to do deep breathing just for general health. I have trouble unplugging so this helps me stay focused.

I'm wondering if there's a problem with your unit. My machine tends to run up to 180-190-ish before it settles down to give me a reading. The number it goes up to and the reading is related to my blood pressure. So it may have gone higher - but not so much to cause any intolerable pain that lasts. If your BP is really high, that may be the reason. FYI, my doctor and I calibrated the results between my machine and his and they were pretty close.

My answer would be a big YES... it seems very accurate and I often compare it to the one my Step-mom uses daily at her Hospital job.It's consistant within 2 or 3 percent. My husband and I are in our late 50's and we both use it once every morning...again after our daily workout at the Gym...and again a few hours after the Gym workouts. six times a day and it has never failed to give good solid readings.

I did, and I love it. It's great if you need to check your bp many times a day. If the numbers are questionable then you get out the arm cuff.

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

My wife is a nurse and she said you can't take your blood pressure back to back that quickly as your blood vessels need time to relax. The readings have been consistent with our unit.

I have to push my finger completely to the back of device to get consistent results. I usually check my blood pressure at the same time i check my oxygen level. I have noticed that there are sometimes when my pulse rate is 4-5 numbers apart. In that case I usually checg b/p and ozygen again, if they are still close then I just average the numbers.

I presume it can be, as it measures BP with the usual arm cuff. However, if this is crucial to your selection, clearly you need to speak with your cardiologist.

Of course. Push the blue button before you start taking your BP, and it opens a screen where you read the BP and the pulse. You can keep it always open if you want to do so.
