A free BP companion app

Blood Pressure Monitor is a free blood pressure recording app available on Google Play and designed to quickly show the user’s pressure (BP) zone automatically based on American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines.

This health and fitness app is similar to iBlood Tracker and Blood Pressure Diary 2 in its ability to log blood pressure entries. However, it can also highlight trends and provide useful pointers and resources.

How does it work?

This PEGI 3-rated blood pressure monitoring app is available to download for free on Google Play and can be used by anyone with a compatible Android device. Users swipe to log and save their systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings, along with the date and time. They can also edit, save, update, and delete measurements via keyboard entry.

What’s it for?

This fast blood pressure reader enables users to take their blood pressure measurements regularly using only their smartphone. They can also keep a log of their readings, access their bp diaries to show to their doctors, track their well-being over long periods of time, and identify changes across intervals or at specific times of the year using interactive charts.

What’s special about it?

This blood pressure reading app doesn’t seek to replace face-to-face consultations or medical readings but seeks to complement the user’s health plan and treatment by highlighting irregularities. Aside from displaying and recording blood pressure results, the app also comes with articles on hypertension, hypotension, diagnosis, causes, symptoms, treatments, and first aid to help users keep their conditions under control.

Keeping your BP under control

Though it can’t claim to match the precision of professional blood pressure monitors or the expertise of medical professionals, this easy-to-use blood pressure monitoring app is a welcome addition to personal healthcare toolkits.
