App Makes It Easy To Track, Store, and Send Data
The Welch Allyn 1700 BP Monitor uses a free app to track and store data. This app also sends data to physicians, providing a complete picture of a user's health. This beneficial feature helps physicians create a more accurate, well-rounded treatment plan that is tailored to the user's overall health. Blood pressure patterns and progress are easily observed with this feature, leading to better identification of hypertension or early warning signs of stroke, heart attack, or kidney disease.1
SureBP Technology for Superior Accuracy
This monitor uses SureBP Technology to quickly gain blood pressure information during the inflation cycle. This technology is designed to inflate the cuff slightly tighter if it is unable to determine blood pressure due to excessive movements or arrhythmia. The SureBP Technology will then measure blood pressure while the cuff is deflating, providing a more accurate read.
Physician-Recommended for Home Use
A study consisting of 100 randomized practitioners was conducted across the United States. The questions were designed to have physicians rate blood pressure devices for their cost, efficiency, and accuracy. The study found that 95% of physicians would recommend a Welch Allyn product to their patients, and 96% of physicians ranked Welch Allyn's home blood pressure devices for their ease of use.2

No, the readings will still be displayed on the LCD. The app just helps to store, track, and send data easier for better progress and treatment monitoring.
