Early Detection, Healthier Life

The body often does not provide symptoms to alert people of the onset of hypertension. Yet this dreaded disease may result in serious health issues and death. Many older adults have hypertension and are likely not aware. Regular monitoring with modern blood pressure diagnostic devices like the Omron Blood Pressure Monitor BP 7250 offers seniors a longer and healthy lifestyle.¹

What Is Home Blood Pressure Monitoring?

Home BP assessments are self-administered surveillance of the heart using readily available testing equipment. This equipment is available at most drug stores or online. The devices require no prescription and are simple to operate. Many professionals consider home testing equal to 24-hour ambulatory measurements and superior to clinical evaluations.²

Suitable home testing equipment consists of an automatic BP monitor and an attached cuff device.

How to Do Home BP Testing

1. Use a validated, automatic BP device with a data memory function. Click the link to see how Omron BP 7250 meets these criteria.
2. Use an upper arm cuff sized to fit.
3. Take the measurement five minutes after seated and resting.
4. Measure before eating, consuming alcohol, or vigorous exercise.
5. Take two measurements dailyone in the morning and the other in the evening.
6. Continue measuring for seven days.
7. Average the systolic and diastolic numbers, throwing out the first day.
8. An average of ?135/85 indicates hypertension.³

How Effective Is Home Blood Pressure Monitoring?

Studies that contrast clinical BP measurements with home BP monitoring find the home results more accurate. Reasons for this include the "white coat effect" in a clinical assessment that often produces less accurate results. The environment affects BP readings, particularly when a healthcare practitioner dressed in medical garb is present; hence, the "white coat effect." "Home BP is superior to clinic BP in predicting cardiovascular prognosis and end-stage renal disease."⁴

Clinical Medical Studies

Hypertension is the most common changeable cardiovascular risk. Monitoring BP at home offers improvement to controlling hypertension. Medical studies of at-home BP monitoring devices find significant improvement for systolic, diastolic, or mean results when using at-home blood pressure assessments.⁵

Connectivity

Omron 5 Series Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor uses Bluetooth technology to connect with a smartphone. The device is compatible with the iOS and Android systems and is also Amazon Alexa-enabled. The app for smartphones is Omron Connect, and the app for Alexa is Amazon Alexa App with Omron Health Skill.
