Garmin releases the first smart blood pressure monitor

Users may set reminders to measure their blood pressure, and results are accessible in 7-day, 4-week, and 1-year reports, which can be saved as a PDF and shared with a health care practitioner. The Index can monitor up to 16 users’ unique readings and connect them to their own Garmin Connect accounts, and the cuff is adjustable to accommodate arm sizes ranging from 9 to 17 inches in diameter. The Index BPM takes four AAA batteries and has a battery life of up to nine months.
