Our helpful Blood Pressure Monitor Shopping Guide will help you find out…
Ideally, everyone should take a keen interest in their blood pressure as it is key to maintaining your health and wellbeing. The best way to prevent high blood pressure is to take regular readings which can help you to take early action if you notice that things aren’t right.
Blood Pressure UK recommends checking your blood pressure when you are relaxed and comfortable, and when your heart is at resting pace (visit their website for more guidelines). Having a Blood Pressure Monitor at home means that you and your family can take and record your blood pressure at the most convenient times for everyone – and you can help each other to remember to use it regularly too.
Kinetik Wellbeing blood pressure monitors are designed to help you measure, monitor and manage your health in the comfort of your own home. Each model in our Blood Pressure range comes with its own unique benefits and features…
But which Blood Pressure Monitor is best for you?
These 5 quick questions will help you determine what you want and need from your blood pressure monitor:
How often do you think you will use your blood pressure monitor?
All of our monitors are designed to be easy to use and require minimal set up, so can take your blood pressure as often as you like without having to worry about a lengthy set up every time.
All of our monitors are activated with a single push of a button.
As a more regular user you may prefer the benefits of the Advanced Blood Pressure Monitor X2 Comfort which has a pre-formed comfort cuff, so removes the need to readjust it each time for a comfortable fit.
Do you need help understanding your readings?
If you are unfamiliar with what your blood pressure reading should be and what it is, our easy to read Quick Reference Feature will be a big help to you. Your reading is highlighted against the indicator to simply classify your reading. Remember that this is merely an indicators and you should raise any worries about your blood pressure with a medical professional.
For a blood pressure monitor with our Quick Reference Feature, see Kinetik’s Fully Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor.
Who is your blood pressure monitor for?
Working as a family to maintain a healthy lifestyle is the perfect motivation to keep you on track. The Advanced Blood Pressure Monitor X2 Comfort has a ‘Family Mode‘ setting – a 3 user memory with 60 memories for each user.
If you need a way to keep track of your readings, you might prefer the Kinetik Fully Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, which has a 90 reading memory so you can keep a record to share with your GP.
What sort of cuff is best for you?
