IHEALTH BP3 BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR ALSO FUNCTIONS AS A CHARGING DOCK. TESTED DONE WITH AN IPAD, IPAD 2 AND AN IPHONE 4, ALL OF WHICH FIT EASILY INTO THIS ATTRACTIVE DESKTOP UNIT.YOU PLUG THE AIR HOSE INTO THE SIDE OF THE DOCK, AND THE OTHER END IS PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO THE BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF. THE DOCTOR SHOWED THE PROPER WAY TO USE A BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF, PLACING IT ABOUT AN INCH ABOVE THE ELBOW, AND AFTER TOUCHING THE START BUTTON, THE IHEALTH WAS DOING ITS WORK, MAKING A SUBDUED WHIRRING SOUND. TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO BELOW THAT COMPARES THE TWO TEST UNITS AND YOU’LL GET AN IDEA OF HOW THEY WORK — THEY FEEL JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF AND FOR THIS IHEALTH UNIT, THE WHOLE PROCESS TOOK ONLY 31 SECONDS FOR EACH TEST. THE FREE IHEALTH APP LOOKS GREAT ON THE IPAD AND IPHONE. IT DISPLAYS SYSTOLIC AND DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS AS WELL AS PULSE RATE. ITS GRAPHING FEATURE, WHICH WORKS IN BOTH PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE MODE, SHOWING YOU THE HISTORY OF BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS OVER TIME. IT ALSO CAN SHARE BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS VIA EMAIL. AFTER TWO TESTS ON EACH ARM (WITH A BIT OF WAITING IN BETWEEN FOR BLOOD VESSELS TO GO BACK TO THEIR NORMAL STATE), THE BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS WERE ALL IN THE SAME RANGE OF AROUND 120/80. WHILE NONE OF THE READINGS WERE EXACTLY ALIKE, ALL WERE WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR OF THE TRADITIONAL BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF USED BY THE DOCTOR. AN ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE IHEALTH BP3 IS ITS ABILITY TO FUNCTION AS A DOCK EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT USING IT TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE. PLUG ITS INCLUDED CABLE INTO THE AC ADAPTER INCLUDED WITH IOS DEVICES, AND YOU HAVE YOURSELF A SLEEK-LOOKING CHARGING STATION. THE DOCK ITSELF ALSO NEEDS TO BE CHARGED, SO IT CAN PERFORM ITS BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT DUTIES WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF BEING NEAR A POWER OUTLET.THE UPSIDE OF THAT? IT RUNS ON ITS OWN POWER, AND DOESN’T USE POWER FROM THE IPHONE OR IPAD. (THE WITHINGS UNIT ALSO RUNS ON BATTERY POWER, NOT DRAINING ANY POWER FROM THE IPAD OR IPHONE, EITHER.) THE MAKERS OF IHEALTH SAY IT’LL RUN FOR 100 TESTS ON A CHARGE. GIVING YOU DAILY READINGS OF YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU AWARE OF A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN CONDITION, AND PERHAPS EVEN SAVE YOUR LIFE.
