Dynamics of changes in pressure - vital information. Not only for hypertension. A plurality of diseases are somehow related to blood pressure jumps.
Previously, you had to keep statistics on their own. Not so long ago, sphygmomanometers (devices that measure pressure) have learned to remember the results of previous measurements and present them in a more or less accessible form: lists, tables. Now it is the turn of devices that synchronize data with cloud services and applications to create user-friendly reports. These are the devices we consider.
Medisana BU 550
In appearance it is a conventional automatic blood pressure monitor with a cuff on the forearm. air pumps itself, makes the measurement and displays the result. Medisana BU 550 can store measurement data 500 (if exceeded, overrides the earliest information). Also, the device supports two users - each conducted separate statistics.
At the unit different parameters: it is able to measure the pressure from 0 to 300 mm Hg. Art. with an error of not more than 3 mm Hg. v., is able to determine the pulse from 40 to 400 beats per minute, up to 5 units. There is a device and a function of identifying an arrhythmia. But the most interesting of its function - synchronization measurements using Bluetooth to a smartphone. After that, the gadget sends the statistics with a measurement time through a special application to the cloud service

Medisana BU 575
A simpler version of the previous gadget. True, the shoulder, and thus more accurate than the 550 BU. In addition, it is more compact, lightweight and easy to use. But with a smaller memory capacity - total 180 measurements for each of the two members. But the device has an alarm clock that can be set to remind you to measure the pressure. The rest of the gadget works the same way as the Medisana BU 575, by synchronizing with VitaDock Plus application and the proprietary cloud.

AND UA-911 BT-C
Very common in the Russian medical device with a fully Russified menu, documentation and application. It works with offline applications A & D Connect, designed for smartphones and tablets based on iOS and Android (with support for Bluetooth 4.0 module). With the cloud does not communicate and the data will not transfers.
In its own memory device stores a maximum of 30 measurements, but in the program memory is not limited. There you can build a beautiful visualization of the results and send the resulting graphs doctor.
However, the device does not fit all: pressure measuring range - from 20 to 280 mm Hg. Art. (With an error of ± 3 mm Hg. st), pulse -.. from 40 to 200 beats / min (with an error of ± 5%).

iHealth BP5
Transitional link between classical and modern gadgets tonometers. Pulse and blood pressure is measured at the shoulder. BP5 is equipped with a single button needed to start the measurement, and an LED to indicate the connection. No screen, no wires - even the built-in battery.
Push the button, and the device itself is connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone (need the support of Bluetooth 3.0). Of course, before that you need to install the application iHealth MyVitals, which works with iOS and Android. It allows you to build schedules, monitor the state of health and to transmit data via e-mail.
Pressure measuring range - from 0 to 295 mm Hg. Art. with an error of ± 3 mm Hg. Art., Pulse measurement range - from 40 to 180 beats / min with an error of ± 5%..

iHealth BP7
A less accurate, but more compact tonometer for measuring the pressure on the wrist. Also different from BP5 measuring range: the instrument is capable of measuring pressures from 0 to 300 mm Hg. Art. with an error of ± 3 mm Hg. Art. and pulse rate of 40 to 180 u. / min with an error ± 5%. The rest - a full copy of the older brother.

Xiaomi (iHealth) BP3 Labs
Blood pressure monitors from other different software platform: the device is intended for use as a component of the smart home - a common programming environment developed by Xiaomi. Unfortunately, being one of the first devices of iHealth, BP3 - the easiest device out of the lineup.
It is a board platform with plug-in via a standard connector ferrule. The platform, in the dock, inserted smartphone (there embodiments BP3 with connectors Lightning, microUSB and 30-pin output). The smartphone is not charged, and the synchronization takes place via Bluetooth.
The device operates in conjunction with the original program from iHealth or a variant of the Xiaomi app store (translated into Russian language version of the application can be found here or here). The pressure meter measures in the range 0 to 295 mm Hg. Art. with an error of ± 3 mm Hg. v and pulse -. 10 to 180 beats / min with an error of ± 5%..

Should I buy this device
To acquire such a device or not - will have to decide. AND UA-911 BT-C is not much more expensive than similar devices not equipped with a Bluetooth interface. Benefit from detailed statistics during active training or diseases associated with a change in pressure, of course. Although statistics can be carried out and with the help of devices with internal memory, do not forget that its scope is limited. Cloud services and applications allow you to overcome these limitations and to keep a detailed log of measurements automatically.
Function in all of the above devices are about the same, so when choosing a tonometer with Bluetooth-interface costs pay attention to the application to work with the instrument, as well as the dimensions of the device, if you plan to transfer.
It is advisable to buy a tonometer in Russia: only this guarantees the obligatory checking device. These gadgets to be certified, and devices without it should not be used for measurement. In an extreme case, you need to check your own blood pressure monitor: compare his statements with the results of measurements obtained using a medical device (such as a tonometer doctor). Keep in mind that measurement errors may depend on the weight of the reasons why you should definitely carry out measurements at different people.
