iHealth View Wireless Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor

iHealth View Wireless Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor:

Not too long ago, I had an odd health episode. I found myself having a rapid heart rate when I was at rest. I felt odd. I thought it might be an isolated incident, but when it kept happening, I finally got it checked out. Thankfully, my Apple Watch was helping to record my heart rate at various times and I was able to use that as a benchmark for what was ‘normal’ or not. It was also helpful when I reviewed that with a doctor. It turned out to only be anxiety related, but it was enough to be worrisome.

There has been an insurgence of digital medical devices that consumers can use at home over the past couple of years. iHealth has been at the forefront of that market and are dedicated to helping people lead healthier lives. I’ve been fortunate enough to test out their wireless scale the iHealth Core and I really like the way their technology integrate with my iPhone. It’s been easy to use and connects well to the iOS app.

The iHealth Core scale was actually the main reason I was so stoked when the iHealth View Wireless Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor became available. My fiancé and I take care of his grandmother. And she recently fell and broke her hip. We have been fortunate enough to keep her at home while she recuperates from the surgery, but she also has COPD and we have to monitor her vitals pretty closely. We have a Pulse Oximeter finger meter and two different blood pressure cuffs, but neither of them is very convenient. And, since her blood pressure is a concern for us, we really like to keep a close eye on it in case action needs to be taken.

The iHealth View is a very comprehensive blood pressure cuff. It’s been clinically tested and connects to your phone automatically with Bluetooth SMART READY technology. The software creates intuitive charts which track your progress over time and the app provides cloud storage and allows you to share your data with family and doctors. The cuff comes packaged with a travel case, which is great because it means you can toss it in a bag and it can travel with you wherever you go. My personal favorite feature is that the iHealth View is rechargeable. It comes with a Mini USB charging cable, which makes it easy to keep the cuff powered at all times.
