Is the Blood pressure data readable by other computers on the same network, or is the data available only from the portal?

The data can be reviewed on the portal using any browser on ANY computer- even if the computer is not on the same network. One could even access the portal on their mobile devices. If the user has a Microsoft Healthvault account , they can use it to review their data along with other medical information.

No the information is not stored. There is no type of connectivity or onboard storage. The monitor is not really meant to be used as a constant monitoring device. (I have used mine for both checking my O2 because I am in the mountains & hike, and also I have arrhythmia so I use it during those events to measure my BPM. It has been extremely useful & reliable for those purposes.)

No. Power is supplied by an internal rechargeable battery in the BP7 and the Blood pressure results are displayed wirelessly on your smartphone via Bluetooth.

Yes, both on the computer (I use it with multiple patients and you can store and track progress over time), and with the heart cloud thing, but I haven't used that part yet.

I'm wondering if there's a problem with your unit. My machine tends to run up to 180-190-ish before it settles down to give me a reading. The number it goes up to and the reading is related to my blood pressure. So it may have gone higher - but not so much to cause any intolerable pain that lasts. If your BP is really high, that may be the reason. FYI, my doctor and I calibrated the results between my machine and his and they were pretty close.

Wear monitor on inside wrist. However, Mom's doctor advised that bp readings can be 10 points off comparedto traditional blood pressure device; so we no longer use the wrist monitor.

It would give you a reading, but not store your results. You could find a much cheaper version that would just take a reading. The key is the storing and syncing of the data across your wireless network to the cloud and to a health management app, such as Healthvault.

Sorry I can't help on this device. I once made a bid, the only bid, on e-bay, but the supplier did not accept. Very annoying. However, I use two items that might be of interest. The first is a $20 blood pressure cuff from Walgreens. This helps me get my socks on. The other device is from Midari and costs about $130. It gives slowly (20 seconds) rising and falling pressure for 30 minutes. Here are its nominal dimensions. Laid flat the cuff shape is an arc that is 22 in across the top and 16 in. across the bottom. The peak height at the center is 9 in, at the sides it is 7 in. The instruction book is not in English, but I found the device easy to use. Sorry I can't help on this device.

You can download it anytime. If you keep using the usb blood checker it will store it on the device. When you plug it into the computer it will download all the new information. At least that's what it appears it does. i often to not hook it up until after a few tests and all of the information appears to be there.

On the inside of the cuff it reads 9.5-13.25. I already took a blood pressure on a guy whose arm was about 14". The monitor is ready to use and comes with cuff, tubing and batteries.

As others that have responded, I also obtain variation in my bp readings. I don't find anything very surprising in different readings.

This has a web-based application. It should be accessible through different computers.

I don't think so. The cuff was not accurate and medical personnel (nurses and doctors) advisead against it for an accurate reading. They recommended an arm cuff - which I have and I have tested against the blood pressure machine at my medical clinic and it is within one degree accuracy.

Yes. The same API for the BP monitor works for the other Withings devices as well.

That's exactly the same problem I had, Judy. My blood pressure normally runs about 116/68, and it had me at a systolic of between 124-128 each time I tested it. It's a lousy unit; I'd definitely recommend another type. Good luck!

The voice did actually say the reading. It was acquired at the request of my elderly aunt and it worked ok. Her blood pressure had to be monitored closely so the unit was used several times each day. It quit working after a couple of years but it was a very useful device.

YES, by an indirect way. Blipcare can share data automatically with Microsoft HealthVault, and then download CSV file from the HealthVault website.
