Can the app measure my blood pressure?
Free
No. A phone alone cannot measure blood pressure. Measure it with a blood pressure monitor, then record the result in the app, which keeps it, shows it in charts and puts it in reports for your doctor.
No. A phone has no part that can measure blood pressure, and no app can change that. To measure your blood pressure you need a blood pressure monitor, for example one with a cuff for the upper arm.
The app is a notebook for your readings. After you measure with your monitor, you record the values in the app. The app keeps them, shows them in charts and puts them in reports for your doctor.
How readings get into the app
- Type in the values from your monitor's display. See Record your first blood pressure reading.
- Point the phone's camera at the monitor's display: the app reads the numbers shown on the display and fills them in for you to check. The camera reads the display, not your blood pressure. See Scan your monitor's display.
- If your monitor has its own app that saves readings in Health Connect, the readings can arrive by themselves. See Health Connect. Google Play version only.
