Answers to the most common questions. Tap a topic to expand it.

Getting started
  1. Tap Measure at the bottom.
  2. Enter the upper value (systolic), the lower value (diastolic) and, if you like, your pulse. Use + and − to adjust a number; hold the button to count faster. After three digits the cursor jumps to the next field on its own.
  3. The coloured bar shows straight away which range your reading falls into.
  4. Optional: arm, tags (e.g. “morning”, “after exercise”) and a note.
  5. Save – done. The home screen now shows your latest reading and your averages.
How to measure correctly

Blood pressure varies a lot. A few habits make your readings comparable:

  • Settle down: sit quietly for about 5 minutes before measuring and don’t talk.
  • Sit properly: back supported, feet flat on the floor, legs uncrossed.
  • Cuff at heart level: rest your arm on a table. With a wrist monitor, raise your wrist.
  • Measure twice: take a second reading after a 1–2 minute break and log both.
  • Fixed times: ideally in the morning before breakfast and medication, and again in the evening.
  • Avoid beforehand: coffee, smoking and exercise for about 30 minutes.
  • Always the same arm: if your arms give different results, use the one with the higher reading.
What do the colours mean?

The categories follow the recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH). The higher category of the upper and lower value always counts.

Rangeupperlower
Optimal< 120< 80
Normal120–12980–84
High normal130–13985–89
Grade 1 hypertension140–15990–99
Grade 2 hypertension160–179100–109
Grade 3 hypertension≥ 180≥ 110

Example: 128/92 – the upper value alone would be “normal”, but the lower one falls into “grade 1”. The reading therefore counts as grade 1 hypertension.

The colours are a guide. A single reading says little – what matters is the trend over days and weeks.

When should you seek medical advice?
  • Call emergency services (112 / 999 / 911) immediately if your blood pressure is very high (roughly 180/110 or above) and you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, vision problems, weakness or difficulty speaking.
  • See your GP soon if your readings are repeatedly 140/90 or higher over several days.
  • Very low readings with dizziness or feeling faint should also be checked.

History, search & calendar
  • History lists all readings grouped by day.
  • Search & filter finds readings by tag, note text, colour range or date range.
  • Switch to Calendar at the top: each day shows the colour of its highest reading. Tap a day to see its readings.
  • Edit or delete: tap a reading. “Delete reading” is at the bottom of the page.
Statistics & report for your doctor
  • In Statistics you choose a period (7 days to all time) and see the average, charts and the split across colour ranges.
  • At the very bottom is Report / PDF: a clear page with a summary, charts and every reading.
  • Save as PDF: in the report tap “Print / save as PDF” and choose “Save as PDF” as the printer. On iPhone: pinch out on the print preview, then save it via “Share”.
  • CSV (Excel) downloads all values as a spreadsheet – handy if your practice wants to process the data.
Medication & vitamins
  • Under Meds, tap “Add medication or vitamin” and enter the name, dose, times and weekdays.
  • Scheduled doses appear every day – on the home screen too. ✓ marks a dose as taken, ✕ as skipped, ↺ undoes it.
  • A dose checked more than an hour after its scheduled time counts as taken late. You can fill in forgotten doses up to 7 days back (left arrow).
  • The percentage shows how many doses of the last 7 days you took. The doctor’s report includes your current plan.
  • Pause takes a medication out of the plan temporarily without deleting its history.

Only change how you take medication after talking to your doctor.

Weight & BMI

The body mass index relates weight to height: weight in kg ÷ (height in m)². You see the value instantly while moving the sliders – it is only stored when you tap “Save weight”.

RangeBMI
Underweight< 18.5
Healthy weight18.5–24.9
Overweight25.0–29.9
Obesity class I30.0–34.9
Obesity class II35.0–39.9
Obesity class III≥ 40.0

BMI is only a rough guide. It does not distinguish between muscle and fat and does not apply in this form to children, pregnant women or very muscular people.
