Contact iBP Blood Pressure Support

by Craterwill

With the advent of health data transfer interoperability, I am sad to
see the disappearance of IBp’s link to
the Withings App. Withings BP and weight data integrates seamlessly and automatically within Apple Health, which is great, but no other BP app compares to IBp’s graphic displays of BP data longitudinally. That makes it even more distressing to lose the ability to at least be able to periodically download BP data from Withings’ Healthmate online. Of course ideally one would have liked it to be fully automatic, but now one has to periodically download BP data from Healthmate online, then reformat the data to match iBP’s format, to be able to import the data into iBP. This discourages me from using iBp on a regular basis because my only other option would be to manually input my BP data into iBp which seems even more ridiculous in this day and age of health data integration.

It is great way of recording your BP.
As far as we (my wife & me) There are two weak points:
1) it would be nice to individually set the red/yellow/green ranges. One of us has high blood pressure and the doctor considered that person is in the green for 130 or under while the green range is 120 or under. We could reset the green range to 130, but it resets the range for both of us. It would be nice if we could have separate ranges.
2) we record our % of fat which for most people is in the range of 9.0% to 20.0%. To graph it you have to enter it times 10, that is 12.6% has to be entered as 126. And, it graphs it on the same chart as the BP. it would be nice % of fat could be entered as a percent and graph on its own graph. And that graph be flexible enough for those who want to graph something other then what % of fat.

This is an outstandingly good app. I have tried many and this is easily the best. There is one small improvement that needs to be made with the graphing function. On the vertical scale the blood pressure is in units of 20 i.e. 80, 100, 120, 140 etc which of course makes the graph very easy to read. After recording my readings for a period of one week and having taken over 70 readings, the vertical scale switched to units of 14 i.e. 82, 96, 110, 124, 138 etc. Everything else remained as it was but now the graph became much more difficult to understand. A minor fix of that issue and I would give this app 5 stars.
