Hello Wayne, It seems to me that you can still use your Qardio as always and that the subscription for $9.99/month or $99.99/year in the US and $12.99/month or $129.99/year in Canada is optional and just gives you additional features.
Here is what I read on the Qardio website: important updates Monthly detailed report provides month-over-month insight into your health. Monitor medications Add medication details including specific measurements, when/how to take medications, and more. Manage daily activities Weather and air pollution information showing environmental effects on your health. Device replacement* Replace your QardioArm device. Why buy a new device if you can still take and track measurements as always, personally I couldn't care less about monthly reports, medication reminders (there are other apps for that and I assume including free ones and the environmental factors tracking is also not important to me. As for device replacement that is all nice and good, but I just checked on Amazon Canada and it shows the Qardio regularly at $129.99 and currently available for $111 so I can buy one for less than a one-year subscription. Have you actually tried to use your Qardio and found it not working without the subscription? To me this does not sound the way it should be, they still mention the basic app which is free and lets you take measurements etc. Best rregards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2022 9:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Accessible smart blood pressure monitors Hello. I am looking for a replacement accessible smart blood pressure monitor. I had been using the Qardio, but now they have gone to a subscription model, and I don't see a need to pay for use of a product I had already purchased. The monitor would need to be accessible , work well with VoiceOver, and integrate with the Health app. What other monitors would fit my needs? A friend told me about the iHealth line of products, but what are people's thoughts on these? Thanks in advance for all information.
