and it is fantastic!! 1

I have purchased two models of Bluetooth BP Monitors with the results being transferred to your phone for storage. They did not work out very well.This is my third, and it is fantastic!! 1. The readings are similar to my doctor's expensive monitor. 2. The "app" that goes with it - is also Great and easy to figure out and use. 3. The device is small and compact - but still takes your BP reading on the upper arm - just where the medical people take it. 4. It is light and easy to pack. You can actually put it in your suit pocket - just like the advertisement depicts. 5. You can lock in your Bluetooth address - so the unit does not try to pair with a nearby phone. 6. There is a "guest" mode - where someone can use or try out your Monitor without the result being included in your own readings. 7. I love it!!! :-)

Qardio is accurate and works well but follow all instructions and watch the Youtube videos before posting a review

I have now been using the QardioArm BP monitor of and on for about 18 months. I wanted to respond to some of the issues on connectivity that folks have been writing about. A few comments that may be of value to folks interested in purchasing this monitor: A few comments: 1) It is accurate and consistent if used properly. I have tested it at the doctor's office alternating between their professional cuff and the Qardio. Both the doctor and nurse took multiple measurements and the doctor commented that he believes the small variations are within the normal range. 2) Qardio is incredibly easy to use once you get the hang of it. I have a Samsung S7 Edge paired with the Qardio. Works almost every time. The one time it did not work after the initial few set up issues on my older Motorola handset, was easily remedied by simply turning the BT radio off and immediately on again. 3) Remember to have the "Qardio" word on the side closer to the palm of your hand. If you are checking on left arm, the word should be readable right side up when you look down. 4) Always turn on the app on the phone before you open the device and pull on the tab connected to the metal rod. The grey "Start" circle should turn green within a few seconds after the tab is pulled and the rod is separated from the device. 5) For a proper reading - please relax and sit back. It is important that your back is supported and the heart is about the same height as the measurement unit. I have tested it with below the heart height and found the numbers to be higher.

This is so easy, it is wonderful for busy as well as ...

This is so easy, it is wonderful for busy as well as older users. Simply open the software, then unfold the area cuff, click the start button in the software. There is even assistance in the software for trouble shooting and pairing. At first the device did not turn on when unfolded, the company immediately sent me a 2nd device. It turned out that putting both phone and device together in a backpack for a short trip across town actually cured it. The company was very supportive and helpful. I would recommend this product highly, any issues will be handled well by the company. Email worked fine. I look forward to other devices this company may come out with.

As a physician, I highly recommend this product.

As an aging physician, I have never been one to endorse or accept the readings from these automatic BP measuring devices. However, this one is different and as physician can give my personal impressions. While always having been athletic, I have carried around 10-20lbs more than I would have liked. My cholesterol, more from genetics than anything, has always been elevated. However, my BP was always in the normal range. About 8 years ago, I went to a local CVS and my BP was read as 145/85, but I could never again confirm it as such high levels. My treating MD always found my BP in normal range. So begins the tale. I began a very strict and stringent exercise regimen, began eating healthier (not totally) and ran very fast intervals followed by weights. Dropped 10 lbs and noticed one day my BP was "spuriously high" never again to be seen that high over the next 8 years. Developed a hip injury recently, which "luckily" led me to abandon running for awhile and use alternative machines like the Precor AMT (aggravated my hip "injury") and rowing machines (WaterRower for my home and Concept C2 for my vacation home). First the good news is that anyone looking to revamp their lifestyle and begin a good exercise regimen, I highly recommend rowing, assuming your doctor clears you for this. I am now 62 and after a trial back at running after a 7 month hiatus, the pain was unbearable. Being a terrible patient and ignoring what my body was telling me, literally barely able to walk to the hospital, I ordered an MRI of my hip on myself. The results were horrible. That "injury" was no injury but horrible bone contusions, torn labrum, sever degenerative changes, literally one of the worst hips I have seen in a long time. Running days OVER but rowing continues hoping to delay the total hip replacement. Well while waiting for the MRI, my BP was 168/80. White coat "syndrome" most likely. However, I decided to check my BP more frequently using my old automatic machine and found it all over the place. To my surprise, my BP was mildly elevated in the AM, more elevated after my morning coffee and perfect AFTER exercising and slightly elevated after returning home from work. However, my readings were still unreliable. Before going to my doctor, cardiologist friend, I wanted to have a better log. I bought this unit HOPING it would do what I wanted, was kind of leery as I don't trust mechanical BP machines all that much particularly gimmicky ones like this. I began three week logs to get a better idea what indeed was going on. Measured in the am upon awakening, before and after morning coffee, after exercise, before work, during work and at home. The results were astounding to me and all these years of "spuriously" high BP were probably not spurious but real. People, while I am a physician, as a patient I am also a lay person. I bought into this "white coat syndrome" nonsense, stress nonsense, etc. This unit is so easy to use and to monitor one's BP I would recommend it to all, especially in light of the newest findings that cardiovascular risks are significantly reduced when you get below 120 regardless of the cause of the BP exceeding 120. If the "stress" of seeing your doctor, much less stress than most of life's stresses causes your BP to elevate, you are most likely having high BP during the day even IF during a very calming time in the day you choose to measure. Elevated BP is elevated regardless and this portable device will do what no doctor can do for you, namely help you not only in determining your BP throughout the day, but also in determining how well treatment, whether it be medicines or otherwise is doing. Having just seen my physician, I confirmed I do indeed have Grade I hypertension, checked the Qardio against his reading which was within a few mm of his manual one. The good news is my cholesterol, etc have become normal avoiding statins, however, I will need to go on ACE inhibitors to hopefully get my BP back to normal, unless I can find some other method to accomplish this feat. I now have three weeks worth of data from the Qardio, am going to try some non pharmaceutical techniques for a few weeks and now that I have a baseline continue to monitor with the Qardio. As a physician, I believe people need to take control of their health and outcomes and this product being so easy to use, portable and most importantly accurate is a product I would recommend to all. Since stopping my denial and becoming a patient myself, I have done just that. Folks, the newest data regarding BP is irrefutable and having just one reading at a doctors office every so often is, in my opinion, the wrong way to detect hypertension and products like these should become part of a person's routine, especially as we age and our vessels become less compliant. Just my perspective so take it for what it's worth.

User Friendly, Compact, Reliable, Accurate, GREAT device.

My father had a heart attack last year and had a need to take his blood pressure often afterwards. The typical monitors record information but if someone grabs it and checks theirs it offers nothing exclusive to who the user was. Also, if the batteries die on a typical system the information saved is gone. I purchased this unit for my dad for the following reasons: 1. It logs your readings within an iPhone app. 2. It's wireless and easy. He uses it literally every day. It travels with him and is very compact. It's very user friendly and something anyone of any age can use easily. Best of all what's the one thing we always have on us? YOUR PHONE. So when he goes to the cardiologist or doctor he has on him an archive of all of his readings that the doctor can easily view. It even offers the ability to send this log report to someone (doctor) externally. This is a GREAT device that offers the best advantages of technical innovation for the sake of practicality not just for the sake of appealing to gadget or tech lovers. I highly recommend it for anyone in the market for a monitor.

I have nothing but good things to say about it

I've been using this cuff for a few weeks and other than it arriving with dead batteries, I have nothing but good things to say about it. Prior to this purchase, I was using a 'regular' home automatic BP cuff, and while it was accurate and easy to use, it didn't store my data in a format that allowed me to view multiple readings at once like the QuardioArm. On top of that, the app makes it possible to email your readings. Data can be shared with the iPhone's iHealth if you want it to. The cuff itself is pretty basic... there's a plastic "box" attached to a BP cuff. When you expand the cuff, the unit turns on and connects with your phone. You slide the cuff on your arm, tighten it and push the big green button on your phone. A few seconds later, you wrap the cuff back around the plastic box (which shuts it off again) and your BP is recorded on your phone. I admit I was a little concerned when I first received the unit because it wouldn't connect with my phone. After a few tries, I decided to look through the manual (yeah I'm one of those guys, sorry) and read that a small green LED should be visible when the unit is powered on. Since I didn't see a green light, I realized the batteries were dead. I replaced the dead batteries with 4 AAA rechargeables and it's worked great ever since. For me, the set of rechargeable batteries lasted 23 days of 2x/day BP measurements (I'm not sure how long they'd been sitting since they were last charged, so I'm expecting better results out of a set of freshly-charged batteries). If you're looking for a simple way to measure and track your BP on a regular basis, this monitor and the free app provide a pretty simple and effortless way to do so.

Easy to use, seamlessly uploads info to Apple Health

This thing is awesome. It does exactly what I want. I had the same issue as struggling a bit with the machine turning off and in that you will see in the other reviews, but the solution for me was easy: the batter case is designed in a way that you easily can pop the cover on and off a thousand times and it won’t break, so I just pop one of the triple A batteries out when i am done using it. I store the device and the 4th battery in the case it came it in. When I am ready to use it, I pop the 4th battery in it, unroll the armband, and it works perfectly every, single, time. This is a small price to pay for an in-home device that seemlessly uploads my info into the Apple Health app. It is easy to use, too. The people that can’t figure out how to put it on one-handed lack common sense: put your chin on it to hold it in place, while you use your other hand to close the strap... this is so easy and intuitive I am surprised that people complain about this.

Great BP Monitor

Update #2. The cuff lasted maybe a year and a half before it stopped working well. I changed the batteries numerous times to try and get it to work but just couldn’t. The unit is easy to use and I guess $90-100 a year isn’t bad for the ease of use. I will probably get another one soon. Update: I have been using this monitor since August of 2016. It is still holding up and found a fantastic job. My doctor likes the product and it is super convenient to take anywhere. Battery life is good. I think I have changed them two or three times since bought. It is very accurate when compared to other devices and my doctors readings. I will buy another one if this one wears out.

Easy to use, portable device makes daily blood pressure monitoring such a fun.

As a physician, I highly recommend this clever device to those who need blood pressure monitoring for a certain length of time such as when you want to see the effect of newly prescribed drugs. Blood pressure, time and day, and gps location are automatically recorded in iPhone, completely removing pains of manually keeping track of these data. I regularly measure my blood pressure 3-5 times a day both at home and in the office, and it is so simple and easy. I see negative comments below about establishing Bluetooth connections; a trick is that you need to put iPhone very close (touching distance) to the device. I also agree with uneasiness of having to send all my personal data to the company's server. In my case, however, benefits exceed that problem. 1. Blood pressure is automatically recorded in iPhone together with date and time, and you can visualize daily trends of blood pressure using Apple Healthcare application. 2. It is small and light weighted and thus can be carried in the bag. 3. Batteries last long enough. I have not re-charged batteries for more than 2 weeks now while taking measurements several times a day. 4. The device can be coupled with up to eight iPhones. Coupling takes only a few seconds and the measurement starts immediately. 5. Blood pressure can be averaged by taking two or three measurements automatically. 6. The readings seem to be reproducible. 7. It is not too expensive as compared to similar devices from other manufactures.

I'm Very Satisfiedoad

I am very satisfied with this blood pressure monitor. I have experienced some difficulty with cinching up the cuff without the unit flopping around on my arm while attempting to tighten the cuff. Realize that that you have only one hand available to attempting to tighten the cuff up. My solution is to bring my upper arm under my chin to hold the monitor from flopping around on my arm while tightening the cuff up. Feels a bit clumsy, but it works for me. I've also observed that you have to have the blood pressure monitor just so on your upper arm and have your arm fully supported, otherwise you get false positive blood pressure readings. One time I received a message, "heart beat too irregular for measurement" (or something to that affect). Scared the living hell out of me. After a few tries, I figured out exactly where and how the arm blood pressure monitor needs to reside and cinched on the upper arm. Excellent customer service. After the first day and a half, my blood pressure arm unit suddenly would no longer bluetooth pair with my iPhone. I worked for a short hour making sure the problem was not me. I then called Qardio customer service to explain my failure. Without any hassle a replacement unit was on it way without Qardio waiting to receive my first now defective unit. A prepaid shipping label was emailed to me. I printed and pasted the shipping label on a box containing my defective unit and sent the package on its way to Qardio. Problem solved. This product would be great for travelers who need to monitor their blood pressure while on the road.
