How Do Cellular Blood Pressure Devices Work? Unraveling the Technology

High blood pressure, or hypertension, presents a significant health risk that demands efficient management. Alarming statistics reveal that one in two Americans over the age of 20 suffers from hypertension.

Given the shortage of doctors and nurses, together with the evolving healthcare insurance landscape, individuals must assume greater responsibility for their well-being. Integrating wearable technology, mobile devices, and apps into everyday life signifies a transformative era in consumer healthcare monitoring. 

One such solution is the Cardiowell 'always-connected' GSM cellular-enabled blood pressure device.

In this article, we'll examine how high-end cellular blood pressure devices can help patients monitor their cardiovascular health.

What is a Cellular Blood Pressure Device? 

A cellular blood pressure device, often referred to as a high blood pressure checking machine, enables patients to monitor their blood pressure at home instead of visiting a doctor's office or health center. Various models, including the high blood pressure and kidney disease monitor, use different technologies to detect blood pressure and may differ from those used by healthcare professionals.

According to the CDC, using home blood pressure monitors like these specialized machines in conjunction with regular clinical blood pressure checks can help people lower their blood pressure and prevent complications from hypertension.

Monitoring blood pressure outside healthcare settings with these advanced devices can provide valuable insights and a clearer view of a person's blood pressure and medication needs. Home blood pressure monitors, especially those designed for specific conditions like kidney disease, may benefit individuals with hypertension or those at risk of developing it who have difficulty accessing health centers for regular blood pressure readings.

Exploring the Features of Cardiowell

The Cardiowell 'always-connected' blood pressure monitor works straight out of the box. Easy-to-use, one-button operation provides accurate readings in under 30 seconds. Captures blood pressure readings on inflation, without over inflating or causing discomfort. 

Other features include:

  • SID (Simultaneously Information Design)

User can read systolic, diastolic and their pulse simultaneously

  • Power-Saving Design

Auto power off after 2 minutes

  • Low Battery indication:

A symbol appears when the battery is low

  • Memory recall

Users can recall up to 60 measurements with date/timestamp

  • Alarm Clock (Optional) 

Helpful if users are required to measure blood pressure at specific times.

  • IHB Indicator (Optional)

Automatically detect IHB and will show the icon if detected.

  • WHO Indicator (Optional)

This indicates if the reading falls in accordance with standards set by the WHO

  • Device Monitoring: 

Transmits blood pressure reading, battery level and cellular signal strength over the AT&T GSM network to the Cardiowell cloud network allowing remote troubleshooting of the device.

Blood Pressure Improvement through Heart Rate Variability

Research has shown that heart rate variability (HRV) strongly measures stress and wellness. Cardiowell's high-end cellular blood pressure device analyzes the time differences between each heartbeat, providing valuable data on HRV. 

By monitoring and improving HRV, individuals can potentially witness improvements in blood pressure. The device is designed to be wireless, eliminating the need for complicated installations. 

In fact, users can measure their blood pressure and share the results effortlessly with a simple button press. This seamless process promotes user engagement and enables healthcare providers to monitor their patients remotely.

The Connectivity of Cardiowell

Cardiowell's "always-connected" devices offer a remarkable advantage in remote patient monitoring. Leveraging cellular technology, the devices provide immediate access to blood pressure data through a secure care portal. 

This HIPAA-compliant platform ensures patient confidentiality while facilitating efficient communication between healthcare professionals and their patients. 

Cardiowell seamlessly integrates with Apple HealthKit, allowing compatibility with a wide range of devices and enhancing data collection and analysis.

The Power of Personalized Health Tips

Cardiowell takes blood pressure monitoring a step further by incorporating personalized health tips. The wearable wellness solution includes "Mindful Nudges," which notify users when they are experiencing stress and guide them to improve their breathing and heart activity. 

By fostering mindfulness and stress management, Cardiowell empowers individuals to respond better to stressors, leading to improved overall health and well-being.
