The constant push notifications to take my readings elevated my blood pressure. Especially when I had already taken in within a the past few hours. There’s a lack of awareness in the reminders because of that and even just sending them before I’ve even paired the monitor that I hadn’t received yet.

The major disappointment lies in not connecting to Apple Health to share the blood pressure readings. The connection to Apple Health only to read the step count is very entry level but does not represent the amount of activity I do in a day (i.e. I average 65 active minutes a day but a lot of that is minimal movement). It also seems to be ableist.

Can’t believe an employer would sign up for this.

My HC insurance company provided a “free” BP monitor to use with this app. It’s a helpful visual product but I feel like my personal medical information is the harvested product in this arrangement. My recommendations; disable Bluetooth and enter BP readings manually, keep a paper and pen notebook with your medical info as you’re giving it away your personal information. Log out of the app and do not allow notifications. Turn off cell data to the app when you’re not entering a BP reading. “Free” means someone is monetizing your personal medical information or location data.

While this app is easy to use. There are a couple designs flaws. Most seriously, it constantly and repeatedly asks permission to send you updates and reminders. Even after you clicked NO many times. This app does not understand that word. That is a harassment. Second, the report is formatted for Sunday only. So if you run a report on Wed, for example, it would say something like oh you have only done 50% of readings.
