My father lives very far away and just suffered a stroke. I need to find a way where he can wear a watch or some sort of device that monitors his blood pressure and where I can see his progress remotely. He lives by himself and desperately trying to find a solution.
Thanks,
D
On sale there are blood pressure monitors connected to a smartphone. I can’t give a link, I came across a few years ago.
If I had to buy a commercial device for a very important use like the one you describe I would probably spend the money on something like this: Smart Blood Pressure Monitors by Withings.
It’s obviously much more expensive than a regular blood pressure cuff. However, I have used various Withings products and currently use their connected scale, and I think they are likely to be reliable and not too painful to set up.
You can connect the cuff to a cheap dedicated phone, if you don’t want to bother your dad with this, and then you can set up the app to share the data with you.
Try a Withings Blood Pressure Cuff and Heads up Health.
Hi Ryan, good to see you here. If @swimmerguy wanted to track a Withings blood pressure cuff remotely using Heads Up Health, how would he do it?
I’d set up the withings device to work with his @swimmerguy dad’s wifi. Then sign up for a health practitioner account with heads up here: headsuphealth
Then connect withings to the Heads Up account and it will automatically sync the data to the dashboard for him. If he wanted to track his dad’s scale, steps/movement, sleep, and more he can do that as well. The remote patient monitoring dashboard from Heads Up is highly flexible and easy to configure. I attached my dashboard here as an example. BP bottom left hand corner. .
