Checkme Blutooth Blood Pressure Monitors for Home Use, Blood Pressure Machine with Dual-Display, Extra-Large Adult Cuff, 500 Readings, Voice Broadcast – Automatic BP Monitor with Bluetooth

BP machine is great! The app, not so much…
This is a well-built blood pressure monitor. The readings seem accurate and include both BP and pulse. Other nice features include the continually updated average BP measurement and average pulse measurement, the ability to store data under up two different users (with 250 memories each!), and a ‘guest’ user with no storage capability. The voice aspect is nice as well and could be useful for the vision-impaired.The set-up is a bit confusing– it asks for you to set the date and time order: month/day or day/month, and 12 or 24 hr format, respectively, but does not allow you to set the actual date or time. When I paired the device with my phone, while the well-written manual said the BP monitor would acquire the phone’s date and time, this did not occur. It was not until I took a BP measurement that the date and time finally transmitted over to the device.The app needs A LOT of work. It is clearly an early beta. Initially none of the BPs or pulse measurements would transmit to my phone. The app would vacillate between showing connected and not connected continually. Clearly it was connected because, the dashboard would show the BP measurement, mirroring the device’s screen (though this was intermittent), yet the icon would show not connected. Finally, I deleted and unpaired the device and then added and re-paired it, and the prior BP and pulse results were transmitted from the device to the app.Then I took a couple of additional measurements. Again, the app showed ‘not connected’, even though the app’s display showed the BP monitor’s screen, again intermittently. Then the app would briefly show the BP and pulse just measured, but these were not recorded into the history on the app. I tried deleting, unpairing adding and re-pairing the device yet again, hoping the most recent measurements would flow in to the app. Instead all the prior measurements were deleted from the app (but fortunately, not from the BP device).The Checkme folks need to get the app working.Also, the BP machine turns off after about 15 seconds, it would be nice if the auto-shut off were after 1 minute.Overall, 5 stars for an excellent BP machine but 0 stars for the app.

Excellent Blood Pressure Monitor
There is a lot to like about this blood pressure monitor. It is made of solid, first-class materials and feels substantial from the moment you take it out of its attractive carrying case. The design is simple yet elegant and the operation is obvious even before you read the user manual which is extremely well written and comprehensive. Everything you need to know is explained clearly in perfect English unlike many manuals with confusing graphics and poor writing. It even comes with a little card for refunds or replacements, but you are not likely to need either.One helpful feature of the monitor is the audio guidance given for each operation as you press the buttons. Again, it is given with clear, well-spoken English. The result of each test is shown on the big display, recorded in memory, and spoken. Two people can save their history, and a guest can also get a test that is not saved in history. The user manual offers helpful information on how to interpret the results. You can pair a smart device with the monitor to view results, but it mostly just duplicates what you see on the monitor’s screen. However, it does give you access to support, FAQs, and other information.The cuff is large and must fit snugly around the arm. If you don’t get it on properly the voice will let you know. When it is not quite tight enough you can wrap your hand around the cuff to reduce the air space and make the monitor able to proceed.I highly recommend this blood pressure monitor. I also highly recommend the AI-ECG heart monitor made by the same company. I have used one for a year and a half for a very extensive analysis of my heart that can be worn for twenty-four hours as opposed to the thirty second test you get from a cardiologist.

Compact and accurate
I’ve been using this Checkme Bluetooth BP monitor for a week now and find it quite accurate comparing to my old BP monitor. The body is more compact than my old unit and comes in a nice pouch suitable for travel. I already have the Wellvue O2 Ring that uses the same ViHealth app on my iPhone. So instead of installing the app, I had to go to Profile in the app and click Add Device to add in this BP monitor. Also to connect to it for data transfer, I have to go to Profile and select it under Select Device before it will connect. This was not explained in the manual.The cuff is slightly curved as one other comment indicated, but not an issue at all. I just wrap it around my left upper arm snugly as instructed. I also find that it is easier to slide the cuff off the arm and slide it back on next time to cut down on the trouble of wrapping it each time. I regularly do that each night as I go to bed and lay down for 5 minutes before I push start to get the reading. Next morning, I bring my iPhone over and hit the User button on the monitor, then the Memory button. This turns on Bluetooth in the monitor to connect to the iPhone and transfer the data. I just have to make sure that the ViHealth app has the BP Monitor selected. The unit stores a lot of readings, so connecting each day is not necessary.As I do not want to wake up my wife, I am glad that the voice feature can be turned off.I find this BP Monitor functional and accurate. Do recommend it.
