    Just wondering why you need wireless?

    • Pricebeat on 18/10/2021 - 10:38
      +3

      there's no need to have your smartphone next to you during or after the measurement

      If someone lives away from their parents. They could keep an eye on their BP results? Also good to store results and see a trend over a period of time if it does that in the app.

    • thrillhouse88 on 18/10/2021 - 10:45

      I have an existing BP machine that I find to be a bit of an eye sore so I tend to pack it away and then unpack it as required.
      I would be more likely to use it more regularly if it was wireless.
      I actually just bought this, not because I need it, but because I want it.
      This is the (ozbargain) way

      "hoseless" is more important than wireless sync.

      It would be even more useful if it could be left on and do regular measurements automatically, i.e. an ambulatory 24-hour monitor.
      Why have they not enabled that?

      It seems to rely on a proprietary IOS/Android app, which one day will stop working.

      • ripprind on 22/10/2021 - 10:24

        I agree. I'd buy it though if I knew it was possible to export measurements.

      You can appear healthy but also have sky high blood pressure that you wouldnt know about. High blood pressure can be the cause of heart attacks and strokes. Its always good to keep an eye on your blood pressure.

        Thanks, appreciate the input. I barely need to go to the GP, but was wondering if owning one would be useful. I've a fitbit scale and appreciate being able to look at the trend (getting fatter, thanks covid)

        • squidz on 18/10/2021 - 15:30

          that's the new normal

        • ripprind on 22/10/2021 - 10:30

          If you to to GP a couple times a year (they usually measure blood pressure as a standard) or your local pharmacy has a free blood pressure measuring service and are always in the "green" (below 120/80) then You don't need a device at home imho.

          There is really no point in monitoring it more often if its in the green. It will probably also be boring and you would stop doing it soon anyway - with no interesting results to keep you going.

          P.S if you have migraines, or chest pains it would be useful to check it it coincides with episodes of high blood pressure aso. But initially it can be done in a pharmacy.
          You seem to suggest you are generally healthy, so if I was you I wouldn't buy it.

    • meowsers on 18/10/2021 - 11:29

      Also the new BP standards are about 20mmHg lower than previously. 120/80 is now where you should be

        I never knew 140/100 was the norm.

        It's always been 120/80 whenever someone has asked.

        • enigma48 on 18/10/2021 - 13:41
          +1

          I’m not an expert in this but the research I’d read a few years ago (may have been a UK Cochrane study?) basically showed the benefits of meds/treatment outweighed the cons even if your readings were 130/80. This range used to be called “pre hypertension”.

          Previously the advice was don’t intervene until you’re over 140/90. I don’t know if there’s consensus on the change but as I was tipping 150/90 in my 30s, it was a no brainer for me :).

          Also important research to know: if anyone is on blood pressure meds, take them at night. Blood pressure regulation system is more active overnight and that’s when you want medication levels at their highest. Made a difference for me and doctor confirmed this is best practice now, at least for my meds.

          • Loopholio on 19/10/2021 - 08:44

            @enigma48: My blood pressure pills still state take each morning. I'll have to ask my doctor about this next visit.

              @Loopholio: Same with mine. Talk to your doctor first but my doctor agreed, saw the same research, and changed the instructions to take at night. Talk to your dr first.

          • fredblogs on 19/10/2021 - 09:39

            @enigma48: Huh, didn't know about that. What difference did taking them at night make for you?

            • enigma48 on 19/10/2021 - 09:47

              @fredblogs: About 5-10 points difference on the systolic number, depending on time of day.

          • Loopholio on 22/10/2021 - 16:25

            @enigma48: I asked my doctor today and they told me day or night doesn't really matter because the blood pressure pills I take lasts for 24-36 hours. All I really need to do is take it around the same time every day.

            • enigma48 on 22/10/2021 - 16:33

              @Loopholio: It doesn’t sound like they’re aware of the new research then. The 24 hour thing is true for almost all blood pressure regulation pills, this is about them having better efficacy based on the time you take it.

              It’s new and many doctors aren’t across it yet. A lot of research is happening now, seeing what other meds are improved by taking them at specific times. Some are calling this chronomedicine/chronotherapy.

              One random link with research references https://www.escardio.org/The-ESC/Press-Office/Press-releases…

              The researchers, who are part of the Hygia Project led by Professor Ramón C. Hermida, Director of the Bioengineering and Chronobiology Labs at the University of Vigo, Spain, found that patients who took their medication at bedtime had nearly half the risk (45% reduction) of dying from or suffering heart attacks, myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure or requiring a procedure to unblock narrowed arteries (coronary revascularisation), compared to patients who took their medication on waking.

                  @atlas: I’m definitely not an expert on this - I’d check with your doctor

              • Loopholio on 23/10/2021 - 12:29

                @enigma48: I checked my pill bottle and it no longer states to be taken in the morning, but I'll keep doing that for now as I wake the same time every day. I may switch to nightly as I take other pills the same time each night.

          It wasn't the norm but it was the point at which you would be diagnosed with HTN.

      If you don't have other issues (age, weight, family history) i.e. you are "young and healthy" then don't bother with this. Check your BP at the doctor or when you see a device somewhere (chemist, friends, etc). Once you start seeing readings near 130/90 (either number) then start taking more regular readings and keep a closer eye.

      Personally, I try to check mine monthly but my BP has been near 130/80 since I was a teen and risen since - it's a family thing. Easy to treat.

      I have a blood pressure monitor and I find it calming to know what my blood pressure is. Even if it is a little high.

      Blood pressure taken at a doctors office can be higher than normal due to "white coat syndrome".

      However blood pressure taken in the comfort of your home may give you a better indication of what your blood pressure is.

        Exactly this.
        Luckily my GP here understands this and has requested me to keep checking at home. It's generally 160-110 whenever I check at GP clinic. I can literally feel my heartbeat go thud-thud-thud-thud X 100 when he starts monitoring.
        Nothing helps - trying to deviate mind, deep breathing etc.

    • enigma48 on 18/10/2021 - 11:40

      It’s a good practice to bring your blood pressure monitor with you to a doctors appointment. You both take readings and as long as it’s reasonably close, consider it “calibrated” for a year. If you get weird results, wait and retest.

      Don’t worry if it’s 3 points off - you just want to stay out of bad categories (too low, too high).

      • nedski on 18/10/2021 - 11:44
        +1

        I have a bit of an idea of where my blood pressure usually sits. I have thought about bringing mine to the GP's but my blood pressure is usually high there due to moving around and "white coat syndrome". Considering how short appointments are now, I think it may be just better to spend $99 than a $75 doctor consultation fee (minus rebate).

        • enigma48 on 18/10/2021 - 12:23

          Completely agree - take it with you for an existing appointment, don't book an appointment for a BP reading/calibration. If you don't have BP issues and see the doctor every 2 years then wait for then.

          White coat syndrome definitely is a thing, also talking just before/during a reading can distort. But both the doctors and your readings will both be high so from a calibration point of view, not a concern as long as the numbers are similar.

      I can’t seem to find the study right now to link it here, but when I bought this last year I found a study that compared this BP monitor with a Omron device and blinded assessment by 2 manual assessor’s, and the Withings device closely matched the 2 Manual assessor’s, closer than Omron. However, they reported that the Withings device consistently over reported values compared with manual assessment, but it was close, like 3-5% difference or something and CV was small too.

  • PlasticSpaceman on 18/10/2021 - 12:31

    I've had the older version of this (pretty similar, but this has some improvements such as the display on the side) for a couple of years, and it's been good. I found that my blood pressure was reading high whilst at the doctors, who recommended me take meds to lower the pressure which I then started to do, but I thought it was just possible that my pressure might have been reading higher than it really was because they always talk to me whilst taking the reading, usually midday (when it's highest), their room was at the top of a flight of stairs, and they didn't let me rest for a few minutes before taking the reading etc. Basically ticking all the boxes on how not to take blood pressure readings. After discussing it with my quack first, I stopped taking the meds for a while. Plan was to use the monitor myself, and if the readings were bad or inconclusive, I'd hire a 24 hour monitor to track my pressure over a day. It quickly became pretty obvious though that my pressure was fine when I took it as it should be taken - at the same time of the day (eg morning and/or evening), and in a quiet place with no distractions. The quack agreed my pressure was actually fine so I stopped taking the meds - so it's basically paid for itself there.

    Main take aways - this is a good device (make sure you follow the instructions to the letter to get the most accurate results), probably handy to have if you are interested in monitoring your health over time, but if you are concerned about your blood pressure you should definitely talk to your doctor (and if you have a monitor, take it with you to compare the results with theirs to make sure it is relatively accurate).

    Its usable with multiple users but is a pain to remember to switch the user, otherwise syncs to the wrong user.

    Bad for tiny people with small arm circumference as there are chips in the ribbon and the PCB dont bend so good and will error.

    Their web views/emails and stuff aren't great for premium type product, but I manually log my readings anyway so dont need them personally.

    I just bought this. Thanks so much for posting the deal op. I use to have an older model saved my life. This really works and I would like to get the upgraded model. I didn’t know my BP was sky high as I am not a big or unfit. But glad I checkedy BP once at a friend’s and followed up with my GP.
    I’ve been on BP medication since that.

    Debating whether to go with this or a Fitbit with HR

    I wouldn’t bother with this because it can’t be calibrated and so my GP won’t trust the result.

    They also think 136/100 is normal though.

    I am one who is in mid-range hyper BP. TIP to share.

    The best way to check BP is either morning or evening, before measuring BP get away from distraction i.e. sit in a room and take a 10 deep breath, cool down and then take a reading. don't move and don't think anything except some good memories that makes you feel good & happy, that really help to bring BP reading down.

      I can understand that helps in measuring what blood pressure my body is capable of when I'm as relaxed as possible. I also like to take a reading at a random time during a day, after sitting for a little while, to measure what my typical blood pressure is with my normal functioning.
