Subject: Re: Can anyone recommend a good blood pressure monitor that works with 
iPhone?

 

Hi Brett,

 

Thanks so much for this.  I don’t like the idea of not getting feedback, so I 
think I’ll stick with the Qardio, at least for now.

Cheers,

Donna

I have the withings blood pressure monitor and it does work.

I can't remember if the setup was accessible but the actual measurement process 
provides no feedback. You have to press once to turn on the monitor, wait a few 
seconds, press to start the measurement, when it is done, press the monitor to 
show the measurement and finally one last time to send it to the iPhone app.

Also, the design is awkward, it goes only on your left arm and is one contained 
unit.

It does look kind of cool because it is a single rechargeable unit via usb but 
I always have trouble getting it on my arm.

Just my thoughts.

Having said all that, I do use it and it works.

Hi,

 

Have you looked at the monitors by Withings?

 

https://www.withings.com/ca/en/blood-pressure-monitors

 

The app is accessible for sure.  The only part I’m not sure of is the initial 
setup of the device.  I expect that it would be as their scales tend to be easy 
to use and can be set up without sighted assistance.

 

Later…

Hi, Jonathan,

 

Yeah, I don’t get it.  I’ve contacted the dev, and they don’t know why it’s 
happening either.  At this point, I might just punt Qardio, and get a talking 
one instead.

Cheers,

Donna

Crazy. The only other option I can see to try and correct this would be to 
remove the app and re-install it from the app store. If your BP is in your 
Health app, you probably will not lose the data, but if it is only in the 
Cardio app, it might be an issue. I suppose you could also try working with 
either Apple or the product developer to resolve the issues.

Hi Jonathan,

 

Well, I was really hoping that would solve my issue, but it didn’t.  When I 
checked in privacy settings, Qardio was already on.  I turned it off and back 
on, but that didn’t fix the problem.

Cheers,

Donna

Hello Donna,

In the last couple versions of IOS, apps are not allowed to communicate 
directly with the bluetooth stack without being given permission. This is 
because bluetooth was being used to track peoples locations. Any bluetooth 
device that needs an app to interpret it, must have that apps be granted 
bluetooth access in the privacy table. To do this,open up the Settings app 
under privacy select bluetooth and then look to make sure your app is enabled 
here.

Generally, there are four types of apps I find in the list that have requested 
bluetooth access:

1. Location apps that are using bluetooth to better pinpoint your location, 
like Sound Scape and Blind Square

2. Apps  that use chrome cast to send video to TVs.

3. Apps to specialially control a specific device (iRobot)

4. Apps that want to track you wit bluetooth beacons I have one restaurant and  
CBS News )

 

Best wishes,

Well, I’ve got it turning on - I just wasn’t closing it tightly enough.  But it 
still says Bluetooth permission denied every time I start a measurement.

That’s the one I have, but it does not work great.  I can’t even get it to come

the qardio arm works great!  There is an app called qardio which handles all 
their devices.  Basically, once you have the qardio arm paired to the phone 
through bluetooth, all you have to do is open the app, select qardio arm, then 
put the cuff on your arm properly and it automatically takes your bp and tells 
you the results in the app.  I have one of these, have had for some years now, 
but can’t remember the price I paid for it.

Hi all,

I have a Qardio Arm, but it never works.  It simply doesn’t come on when I 
unwrap it, so then it doesn’t connect to my phone.  I’ve done everything, 
change the batteries, re-set, re-pair, but nothing has helped.  At this point 
I’m ready to give up on Qardio - it’s been a royal PITA.  Are there any other 
blood pressure monitors that folks on the list are using?
TIA,
Donna
