The key reason I choose this monitor is the reputation for precision of Omron, as well as the promise that it will log data to As a first impression, I found the following A closer look at the picture will reveal that it is much larger than it seems Quite frankly, I don't think I have ever seen such a large blood pressure monitor. The bracelet came with a carrying bag as well as batteries, as well as its own comfortable black cuff. My battery installation was easy and I was able to test the battery. Rather than measure pressure by pumping to maximum and reducing pressure as old-fashioned devices did, it measures it by reducing pressure. It is called a "gentle" method by some devices that go from a low pressure to a high pressure. Its reading, however, seems to be consistent with the readings of my other two monitors. br> The device has a local memory that can store up to 60 readings. In addition to this, we also have the features that are "no surprise". The rating has been lowered to 2 stars from 5 stars after a few surprises. This is attempted to set the date and time on the monitor, and I was initially surprised to read that it is done automatically with the smartphone, as well as via Bluetooth It was still possible to connect directly to the mobile device, but I had to go into Here is the surprise Well, I thought I could download a free application to my phone, pair it with the monitor, and then I could store readings there. 107 MB of data is in the Omron Connect application! In terms of how it works with the monitor, during installation you will need to create an AliveCor account, an Omron partner that claims to function with the monitor. There is a surprise #3 for you Personal data need to be collected for the account to be created Your e-mail address, your last name, your date of birth, and your The time calibration and Bluetooth transmitter pairing are not really critical just for pairing with the device, but when creating an account it also would like to send health data to the internet (data that will be saved in the USA) and access to the location service (in order to In cases where location service permission is denied, the application does not work). Moreover, the BP data is not stored on the device with the 189MB (! 28MB of storage used by the application (148MB for the application, 28MB for the database). 2) user data is stored on a partner's server! And, data transfers may only be enabled when an Internet connection is available. violates my privacy expectations and I would give it a 2 out of 5 stars rating. This is surprise In this case, the purpose of contacting you is probably to give you personal advice therefore I have measured your blood pressure at 120/69 mmHg, which has always been It is classified as elevated by the advice. *** Surprize In addition to displaying history and generating reports, the application is expected to Because of this, whenever you want to request summary data, you must be connected to the Internet because the data is not stored locally on the smartphone. The monitor is designed and performed well, and it intends to use Bluetooth connectivity, so it is considered good overall. My biggest concern is that one needs to surrender personal information, allow readings to be stored on a third party service, and even if one can use Bluetooth without consent, they are all getting into agreements with a third party service that is unknown to themselves. It's a fact that I wouldn't purchase this monitor if I knew about it. Omron should read the feedback and redesign the application to decrease the size, store the data on the phone locally, and make it anonymous so the data has no trace. I gave my rating two stars for all of those reasons.
Was the same device actually given to those people? Does the same (required) app need to be downloaded and activated? Does Omron have anything to do with this? I was highly impressed by the Omron line of medical devices recommended by my medical provider. We failed to discuss Omron's high handed approach to insisting that to simply measure and store records of a person's blood pressure in a manner that supports the person's use of the information, Omron must access tons of other medically-sensitive personal data. The site does not make any attempt to ensure privacy or anonymity, and there is no explanation for what information they are gathering. Collection of personally identifiable medical information without the assurance of HIPAA protection, or even a pretense as to how such data serves the interests of the consumer, is simply unacceptable in an age of information overload. In order to return the product, I need to return it.
The app on the phone is completely useless The application requires that you enter ALL your health details. The "gold" version of this Omron does a great job of measuring blood pressure, just like all Omron's lower cost offerings. In order to easily move my BP to other apps I bought the "gold" version at a higher cost. Despite the app's requirement that you enter ALL your medical information, it is not suitable for all users. Additionally, the app is not very good for a number of reasons However, my report suggests that the "give me all your health data" option is the killer (I note that the "Omron Connect" app Google gave the website a rating of 5 out of 5.
Described in a false manner. Among other reasons, I bought this device specifically because it has Bluetooth, so I can transfer the readings straight to my phone or PC. In order to do that, you need to download their app, Omron Connect, which requires you to sign up and share your information. Otherwise, I would not have bought it if this were mentioned in the description. * There is also a slot for a power cable, however, you will need to order it It appears I am being scammed in order to gain access to my personal information.
In its first 30 days of use, this product was very satisfactory to me. Once the window for returning closed, we were unable to return. There was a sudden deterioration in the accuracy, exhibited by error code 5 which meant that the arm was positioned incorrectly. In order to test my heart rate, I used the same pressure setting on the cuff and did not change it, just pulling the cuff off and on each time. This worked fine, sometimes taking my pressure up to 10 times per day when my heart rate was high. Then, after about 50 days, it stopped taking readings and would only show a Due to the fact that I cannot return this marvelous but non-functioning device, I guess I'm stuck with It is because of this that I strongly urge you to not use this device for this crucial task.
There is always a difference of at least 10 mm Hg in the readings of this device. In addition to monitoring my blood pressure, this unit was a gift from my husband. I was still seeing too high BP readings at home after a month of taking the new drug. It was suggested to me by my physician that I bring in I had taken my readings by a nurse manually and with the nurse's electronic machine at the doctor's office, and both were correct. These readings were too high when they took them with this machine. The nurse may have taken a reading of 122/74, while the machine showed 135/85 (which was how I averaged at home most weeks). A quick update The unit was sent back on my dime, and an Omron rep returned it with a letter stating I take two readings minutes apart, one of which is from an Omron device that works perfectly and the other is from a device that I get at the doctor's office. The lower reading is from an Omron device that does not work and is below average.
It was because of the Bluetooth capability that I bought it. It is supposed to come with Bluetooth enabled as a default. However, my device does not have it turned on. If I press the Bluetooth button for more than 2 seconds, the P flashes to pair when it tries to turn on. It finds the correct Omron model on my iPhone 10Xr, but cannot pair with it. As long as I can't figure out how to turn on the bluetooth on the Omron, I'm returning it.
