Set reminders to take your readings

A reminder shows a notification on your phone at the time you choose, so you remember to take your reading. Reminders are free.

Open the reminders

1. Tap Other, the last icon in the row at the top of the screen.

2. Scroll down to the section Miscellaneous.

3. Tap Reminders.

If you turned reminders on when you first set up the app, the reminders you chose there are already in the list.

When the screen opens, the app may ask for permission to show notifications, and on some phones for permission to set alarms at an exact time. Allow both, or the reminders may not appear.

Add a reminder

1. Tap Create at the top of the screen.

2. Tap TIME and choose the time.

3. Under Description, type a short note, for example "Morning reading". The note is shown in the notification.

4. The reminder repeats every day. To choose other days, tap Repeat, untick the days you do not want and tap OK.

5. Tap Save at the top of the screen.

The new reminder appears in the list and is switched on. When the notification appears, tap it to open the app and record your reading, as described in Record your first blood pressure reading.

Change, switch off or delete a reminder

• To switch a reminder off without deleting it, untick the box on the right of the reminder. Tick it again to switch it back on.
• To change a reminder, tap it, then tap Edit at the top of the screen. Change it and tap Save.
• To delete a reminder, tap it, then tap Delete at the top of the screen.

Reminders belong to the profile that is selected when you create them. If several family members use the app, switch to the right profile before you add a reminder.
