Hi, The Qardio arm Is for the upper arm, It is about 5 inchs wide cuff that fits around the base of your bicept towards the elbow, This is where blood pressure monitors go when put on by doctors due to the artiry that runs down under the bicept being the one they listen to for the blocking and releasing of the blood.

I like what I've read about the Cardio one, but he wants one that fits the upper arm. Is there a good one for that area or are they all for the lower arm? Thanks.

Really really easy and I believe well worth the $250 nz dollars I paid for it. Only issue I had was the shipping time, Seemingly shipping to Australia and NZ is having delays due to the virus Hope that helps.

I believe it speaks the test results to you when you take the test. And the app I believe lets you share the results with your doctor via the net and or from the app. But hey I’ll let you know.
