Withings BPM Join – Digital Blood Strain Cuff & Coronary heart Price Monitor – Blood Strain Machine Arm Cuff, FDA Cleared, FSA/HSA Eligible, IOS & Android

Clean compact design, good App, and accurate enough.
I compared my results on the Withings BP against a professional grade WelchAllyn ProBP 3400 series ($900) calibrated handheld blood pressure monitor. The cuff size makes a difference, I used a size 11 (25-34cm) cuff vs. the “one size fits most” built into the Withings BP. I connect the Withings to one arm and the WelchAllyn to my other arm careful to get the same height and arterial alignment. I ran 5 tests then swapped arms and tested 5 more times. Based on the WelchAllyn ProBP it looks like the Withings is the systolic readings were normally within 2pts of accurate but the diastolic readings were off by an average of 4-5 pts. Pulse was within a 1-3 beats. They WelchAllyn was much faster and more accurate because it utilizes the SureBP NIBP measurements that take the readings during cuff inflation vs the Withings that is measuring during deflation. The Hillrom FlexiPort Blood Pressure Cuff is more accurate because it is sized to my arm but it’s meant to be put on my a care giver and putting it on yourself is tricky, but with ability to quickly disconnect the cuff and swap to another cuff it is meant more for a hospital environment. The Withings cuff is easy to put on yourself but I don’t think it is as accurate, also the screen is facing out when you put it on correctly, poor designed choice for an at home blood pressure monitor. But it’s integration with the Withings App is excellent. Overall I’d give it 4.5 stars, with the only negatives being the screen facing outward when correctly placed, the accuracy being a bit off 2-3%, and the cuff tends to constrict more than it need to leading to a slower reading and a bit more painful than necessary. For the price and the App integration I’ll round 4.5 up to a 5 star rating. I also had the original Withings blood pressure cuff I bout 10+ years ago that ran on AAA batteries and this new rechargeable and WiFi version is an order of magnitude better. I even dig how small it rolls up, yeah it’s 5-stars.

Very concerning device! PLEASE READ!
The pursuit of a streamlined device that integrates with the iPhone’s Health App for blood pressure monitoring has culminated in frustration rather than satisfaction. Initial usage seemed promising until I took the device to the doctor’s office for a comparative reading. The doctor’s machine registered a reading of 145/80—consistent with what I had observed on two other BP machines the previous day. However, the Withings device produced an alarming reading of 178/108 immediately afterward. This inconsistency was not a one-time fluke; the Withings consistently recorded systolic levels that were 20-40 points higher than accurate, despite following all recommended adjustments in arm positioning and elevation.This situation is particularly disappointing given the device’s impressive design, user-friendly interface, and well-functioning app. In contrast, other models from purchased from Amazon provided reasonably accurate readings. The critical issue lies in the alarming discrepancy between the Withings readings and actual measurements, raising questions about the device’s reliability.Moreover, there is a troubling undercurrent to this experience, suggesting a broader narrative involving the medical industry, pharmaceutical companies, and the food industry. The excessive promotion of health-related fears—such as heart attacks and hypertension—appears to coincide suspiciously with the aggressive marketing of their products. This raises a larger question: Are we living in a reality manipulated by these industries to instill a sense of illness and dependency on their offerings? The irony is disheartening, especially considering the financial investment involved. What a shame that such a crucial aspect of health management has been compromised by the very systems meant to support it!

Withings Bpm Connect consente non solo di misurare la pressione sanguigna, ma anche di memorizzare le varie pressioni nell’apposita APP gratuita per più utenti (ad esempio padre, madre, ecc.).La procedura è semplicissima, anche perché lo strumento ha un unico pulsante: acceso l’apparecchio, si preme una seconda volta per creare la misura, si conferma la misura stessa premendo la terza volta e quindi si seleziona il nome del paziente (dopo aver fatto scorrere i nomi sempre con l’unico pulsante) premendo per alcuni secondi.Un segno di spunta conferma la registrazione dei dati nell’APP.Trascorsi pochi secondi la misura (massima, minima e frequenza cardiaca) appare nell’account del paziente prescelto e l’APP provvede a fare numerose statistiche, come da immagine allegata di esempio.Ing.

J’ai choisi ce tensiomètre pour pouvoir surveiller ma tension à domicile et en déplacement après un AVC.L’un de mes critères était un appareil recommandé par les professionnels de santé et l’ANSM (Agence Nationale du Médicament et des Produits de Santé).Il est fiable et très simple d’utilisation, et sa connectivité et son intégration avec les différentes applications (l’appli Withings et Apple Santé me concernant) permet de garder une trace de ses propres constantes.Les petits bonus : une autonomie franchement solide (20 mesures ne doivent pas faire descendre la batterie de 5%), la possibilité de lire les résultats directement sur l’appareil (avec un indicateur de normalité des tensions affichées), la possibilité de prendre une tension « invitée » (qui ne polluera pas votre historique), un design sympa et une très bonne portabilité.Un peu moins bon : je trouve que le revêtement en plastique blanc du boîtier peut facilement marquer (surtout si on le manipule / déplace beaucoup), et l’absence d’un port usb-c (c’est un micro-USB) est un peu éloigné des standards habituels.Rien de méchant cela dit.Je recommande vivement 🙂
