Blood Pressure Monitor

We love this blood pressure monitor because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know one reading at the doctor's office rarely tells the whole story of what blood pressure does at home. How do you check blood pressure at home accurately? Sit down, rest, and use a cuff that fits: this monitor's large cuff works for most people, it can be put on without help, and the simple, intuitive buttons make checking a quick routine. The screen shows large high contrast numbers that are easy to read, and it stores separate readings for two people, so a couple only needs one device. It is especially important for people managing hypertension, heart conditions, or a new blood pressure medication whose dose is still being adjusted. If readings seem to jump around, bring the monitor to your next appointment so your provider can compare it against their equipment before changing anything.
