Medisana BPW300 Connect Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor Watch

It is thought that approximately 1 in 5 people in the UK suffer with hypertension/high blood pressure (Gill. S, Kristensen. SD. 08/02/2011). However, many are unaware because, oftentimes, they display no obvious symptoms. As a result, it is sometimes referred to as a silent killer. Conversely, some are misdiagnosed with hypertension because going to visit their GP can, in itself, cause increased blood pressure. This is known as the ‘white coat effect’ and leads to blood pressure being higher in a medical setting than it would be at home.

It is vitally important that we are able to accurately measure blood pressure, as continuous high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can increase the risk of serious illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, embolism, aneurysm, and kidney disease. Being able to do this ourselves enables increased frequency and greater accuracy.

Monitor blood pressure quickly and accurately using innovative inflation technology, then analyse it using the VitaDock+ App

The Medisana BPW300 Connect Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor Watch is a certified medical device that has been expertly engineered with inflation technology in the cuff to ensure fast and accurate results. Recording systolic pressure (highest pressure at which the heart beads to push blood around the body), diastolic pressure (the lowest pressure when the heart is relaxed between beats) and pulse rate, it has 60 memory slots for the user. Complete with Bluetooth technology, it is even possible to transfer data to the VitaDock+ App and to VitaDock online, where it can be stored and evaluated more precisely.

This ergonomic blood pressure monitor is designed to be worn around the wrist and can be done so comfortably for the duration of the day if desired, enabling the wearer to take multiple readings throughout the day. Fitting a wrist circumference of between 135mm and 215mm, and with a large E-ink display measuring 27.6mm x 27.6mm, it is clear and easy to read. The time and measurement frequency of this blood pressure watch can be adjusted via the app and it comes complete with a detailed instructor manual, which also enables easy interpretation of results.

Ergonomically designed, the Medisana Blood Pressure BPW 300 monitor has a powerful USB rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The strap has been intricately constructed using fine quality, durable materials and showcases intricate needlework, making it an aesthetic accessory as well as a medical device. With low power consumption, the battery life of this device is approximately 5 days after a single charge. Easily operated using the two buttons on the side of the display screen, simply strap on the watch, press start and feel the inflating panels gently increase the pressure underneath the wrist. Check the position of the watch with a finger width and check the tightness with a finger thickness!

Monitoring blood pressure enables us to identify any potential health risks that could occur as a result of high blood pressure or hypertension. Evaluating this risk then enables us to implement certain lifestyle/diet changes to mitigate this chance or, indeed, seek medical advice where necessary. It can also enable us to determine whether any changes we make, or any medications we may be prescribed, are working to lower the reading.
