iHealth, makers of popular smartphone-connected wireless scales, glucometers, and blood pressure cuffs are releasing a new blood pressure monitor that uses your iPhone or iPad to control the device and display readings. Designed to be more affordable while offering similar features compared with iHealth’s previous models, the iHealth Ease is very portable and costs only $40.
Not having to have its own display and the accompanying internal electronics, the Ease is nothing more than an arm cuff with a base attachment for your portable device. Plug in the phone, put on the cuff, launch the app and now you have a full featured blood pressure meter. The app stores readings for historical review, works with multiple users, and can share them with your doctor and family. It also purportedly detects irregular heartbeats.
