iHealth launches voice supported smart blood pressure monitor
iHealth have announced today the launch of a voice-supported smart blood pressure monitor (BPM). Unlike most other smart BPMs, iHealth Clear displays results and comparison charts on its display, meaning you don’t need to have your smartphone with you to analyze results.
The company’s latest BPM joins iHealth Sense, View, Feel, Ease and their Blood Pressure Dock. The new device is FDA approved and BHS certified for accuracy.
“iHealth continues evolving the experiences of reviewing blood pressure so that our senior users can know which stages of their blood pressures in an easier and clearer way,” said Wade Shu, Vice President of Product Development at iHealth.
“With just one glance, they can know if they need to pay more attention to their blood pressure.”
iHealth Clear highlights systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and heart rate results with one push of a button and displays them on a large 4.3’’ display. The readings are color coded to highlight stages of hypertension. The six colours range from greed to red – dark green meaning “optimal BP” and red meaning “Stage 3 Hypertension”.

Taking regular measurements is particularly important as you get older, as the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle can build up and your blood pressure can increase. If you smoke, are obese, are physically inactive, or have diabetes or high cholesterol, you may also be at an increased risk.
