Reading Blood Pressure

There's an app for that, in hundreds. The laptop is overkill, all you need is an iphone,or ipad, etc.

Just search for "blood pressure" in the itunes store.

I might be a few hundred years too old, but I don't see any app that is going to convert an Iphone into a blood pressure measuring device.

There are many apps available to keep tables, graphs and history of the results you have to fill in yourself, reading from a blood pressure meter.

Blood pressure hardware that uses the iPhone. There is a blood glucose reader that attaches to an iPhone.This attaches to a laptop for logging.

Now if you want a tricorder for your iPhone.

Build your own tricorder.

Oh the X prize for a tricorder.

Your never to old to learn something new.

There are some inexpensive upper arm pressure and rate monitors available with digital display - all that should be required is a Bluetooth or WiFi transmitter . Samsung already promised an app for the SIII called S health. Maybe it could send a SMS with the persons ETD.

The monitor should not be necessary if the person bought a WII FIT. (At least when he or she is not faking exercises by wrist movement)

Technology is wonderful.

None of your answers will work for me. First I don't have an Ipod (nor will I ever get one) and all the monitors on the market shut off after the reading has been taken. I want the monitor to read continuously. Actually I realize they do exist. The ICU's in hospitals continually monitor blood pressure remotely. I guess the question now is; where do I get the necessary apparatus so I can monitor my blood pressure as I sit in front of my desktop computer?

Here's one with a digital readout....

There are better more accurate wearable models on the horizon that don't rely on the cuff method, one such device is in clinical trials now I think, by CardioSign...
