9 best automatic blood pressure monitors

Review of the best according to the editorial board. About selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Doctors recommend that people of age regularly monitor their blood pressure. This applies even to those who have never had health problems. Pressure surges must be monitored daily to prevent cardiovascular and other diseases that can even lead to death. A properly selected automatic tonometer will help with this. The device is used to measure blood pressure. The indicators issued by the device are compared with the norms established for the body of a healthy person. Higher or lower rates are a serious call, indicating deviations.

More and more people prefer to purchase automatic blood pressure monitors for home use, since it is much easier to work with them, and the results obtained are more accurate than mechanical counterparts. In the material, we will consider several models of such devices, and also figure out how to make the right choice.

Experts studied the market, read user reviews and made a rating, which included the 9 best models of blood pressure monitors.

What to look for when choosing an automatic blood pressure monitor

1. Place of pressure measurement. There are devices for the shoulder, wrist and finger. The former are considered the most accurate and therefore the most popular. The latter are suitable for those whose arm volume does not allow the use of the cuff, as well as for athletes. If the cuff brings discomfort to a person, then you should also pay attention to this version of the device. These devices are light and easy to use and can be taken with you on any trip. In addition to measuring blood pressure, wrist tonometers show heart rate. The digital display here is located on the cuff, so it is convenient to monitor the indicators during sports. Still others allow you to measure pressure on the finger, but experts unanimously declare that the accuracy of such tonometers is very low.
2. Components of the tonometer. The service life of the product depends on the quality of the components, and most importantly, the accuracy of measurements. If some parts of the device need to be bought separately, then they should all be of the same company. This is the only way to avoid big errors in the tonometer operation.
3. Cuff size. The correct cuff will affect the measured results. For a medium hand, cuffs of 22-32 cm are suitable. There are universal cuffs that allow you to adjust the volume up to 42 cm. For children and people with thin hands, cuffs up to 22 cm are ideal. Self-use can be facilitated by purchasing a cuff with a fixing ring.
4. Accuracy of measurements. Absolutely all blood pressure monitors have an error, but this does not mean that the devices are of poor quality. This is the norm. Usually, the manufacturer indicates all data on errors on the packaging. Sometimes automatic blood pressure monitors show large discrepancies in readings in comparison with mechanical and semi-automatic counterparts. This is caused by a violation of the recommendations for using the device. In order not to face such a situation, carefully read the instructions, trying to follow the order of the measurement.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Some models are equipped with a smart system that allows you to reduce the error in measurements, as well as calculate and display the average pressure readings, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body.
6. Additional functions. Automatic blood pressure monitors equipped with an arrhythmia indicator will record and display heart rate readings. The devices have different technologies for detecting arrhythmias, but they are all effective, so it is not necessary to focus on this parameter. Devices that carry out diagnostics according to the WHO-scale allow assessing the degree of hypertension. Indicators cannot serve as a basis for a diagnosis, but are a reason to consult a doctor. Tonometers with built-in memory make it possible to store up to 200 measurements, which is convenient for daily monitoring. Having a connection to a PC allows you to print the results for yourself or your doctor.
7. Type of food. Automatic blood pressure monitors are ideal for home use. But it is better to choose models with two types of power supply, for example, from the mains and batteries. Then the device can be taken with you on trips.
