I found a review and podcast concerning the QardioArm on www.applevis.com
The list price is $99, but it can be had via Amazon for $93, which puts it
within the price range of similar talking models through vendors like Maxi Aids.
it is an upper arm cuff attached to a unit that communicates via bluetooth with
an ap that runs on either IOS or Android.
It measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and keeps a log that can be
exported to Health kit, Emailed to your doctor, etc. The reviews on Amazon are
truly a mixed bag. some say it is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but
there are many negative reviews, saying that it is difficult to pair, battery
life sucks, and readings can be eratic. Some folks said that they had to have
the unit replaced once or even twice to get one that worked properly. What is
interesting is that the unit apparently was introduced in 2014. The positive
reviews were generally dated in 2014 and 2015 and the negative reviews were
dated in 2016 and 2017. Go figure!

Subject: Re: Measuring Blood Pressure
Hi Caitlyn,
This thread is perfect timing. Is set up accessible? This being an arm
cuff, is it possible to take your own blood pressure? Currently, we have the
wrist model. Can multiple people use the device, and does it connect up to
health kit on the iPhones?
Thank you, I am looking to update our blood pressure monitor.

Sure do.
It’s called the qardio blood pressure moniter. Note the spelling of
“qardio”, it’s with a q a, not the usual spelling.
Anyway, this is a cuff that you put on your arm, and it connects via
bluetooth to your i phone. There is an app for it, and this is where you
control the cuff and get the results from each measurement.
FyI, they also have a body weight scale, and it also measures body fat
percentage. This also connects to the phone via bluetooth. The app makes
these devices fully accessible. We own both of them here, and love both!
You can find them on amazon.
HTH,
Caitlyn
