Hi Ed,

I take it you are saying that this app is accessible in that it reads the BP 
reading to you? The other question I have is it battery operated or electric? I 
have to use a large cuff to go around my arm so is the cuff fairly large on 
this unit?

 

Thanks in advance for answering  my question and any other suggestion you may 
have.

 

Ed

Subject: RE: Wireless blood pressure monitors from Apple store

 

Hi,

 

I’ve been using the QardioArm wireless blood pressure monitor for a couple of 
months now.  The iOS app is fully accessible except for two pickers in the 
settings menu.  One picker specifies the number of times to sequentially take a 
blood pressure reading and the other picker specifies the time interval between 
readings.  I was able to set the values myself but it took a bit of effort.  If 
you’re a more advanced VoiceOver user, you should be able to set these values 
on your own.  If not, you’ll need some sighted assistance.  Since the values 
only need to be set once, I don’t see this as a real problem.  When I wrote to 
the company about the picker problem, they thanked me for contacting them and 
said they would address the problem in future software releases.  The accuracy 
of the readings from the QardioArm is almost identicle to the readings I get 
from a fairly expensive Omron unit I own and the readings I get at my doctor’s 
office.  I owned the iHealth wireless blood pressure monitor before the 
QardioArm monitor but I returned it after two weeks.  The initial unit set-up 
is not at all accessible and the app’s user interface is very confusing and 
unfriendly.  Good luck.

 

Take care,

Ed Przybylek

Hi all:

 

Does anyone know if the apps which comes with the Withings Wireless Blood 
Pressure Monitor or the iHealth Wireless Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor are 
accessible?

 

Thanks,

 

Kamal
