Can a mobile app check blood pressure really?
Measuring blood pressure requires a touchable blood pressure monitor (in fact, a sensor), and all apps just turn the sensor data into visual results.
Currently, there are several types of blood pressure monitors available in the market (wrist, arm, fingertip, etc.). Wrist and arm blood pressure monitors are based on the oscillometric method, while fingertip monitors usually use the photoelectric volumetric pulse wave principle to detect blood pressure.
If you need an app to display more accurate test results, you need to attach a blood pressure monitor cuff to your phone or install a corresponding chip. However, according to the available information, there is no similar product for the time being.
Obviously, the current blood pressure results measured using the mobile app alone are not convincing for the time being.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that there are already many blood pressure monitors with apps, which can connect the blood pressure monitor's measurement data to the cell phone app for real-time viewing and analysis.
In addition, some devices with built-in health detection systems, such as smart health mirrors and smart health mice, can also measure blood pressure and connect to a professional mobile app for viewing and analysis.
