There is no way to measure blood pressure without a cuff which inflates. OK, maybe if you were hooked up on life support or something like that it might be possible, but there is a reason why at doctors offices and even in hospitals they use this method.
Having said this, there is the Qardio Arm which is a wireless cuff which connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth and you can then use the Qardio app to start the process and read the results, but it will still inflate and put pressure on your upper arm.

Seriously I'd love that! Have you ever experienced a blood pressure cuff that squeezed again before it had even completely let up because there was an error like you had it too low on your arm or something? That's happened to me numerous times, but the last time it did that, it squeezed so hard and it seemed to take a long time before it stopped, and I don't think it's considered claustrophobia because when you're claustrophobic, you feel scared in a confined space, but I felt like I would never get my arm out ever again. I got so scared my mom had to come over and press on the power button I guess it is, so the air would go out and the cuff would let up. If there would be an app, that would be fantastic! Please, let me know! Thanks. Maria On 9/15/2022 6:43 PM, Louise Peyton wrote: > > Hello, all: > > Is there an app I can use with an IPhone that would help check blood > pressure.
