Fri 23 September 2022:

Garmin, a leading wearable brand, has released a $150 smart blood pressure monitor that allows users to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure at home and on the go.

Called ‘Index BPM’, the compact and FDA-cleared upper arm blood pressure monitor features an integrated display so readings can be viewed immediately after they’re taken.

Featuring an adjustable cuff, the Index BPM is made to fit a wide range of arm sizes – from 9-17 inches (22-42 cm) in circumference.

Garmin claims that up to 16 users can keep track of their individual Index BPM readings and sync the data to their own Garmin Connect app.

“Garmin is a trusted name in the health and fitness industry, and we are excited to introduce the FDA-cleared Index BPM as another tool to stay on top of your health,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales.

“When using the Index BPM as part of the larger Garmin ecosystem, all of your health and fitness data can be viewed right in Garmin Connect, helping to give you a more complete look at your overall health in one app,” he said in a statement.

Through the Garmin Connect app, users can also view their measurement history and trends alongside other health stats, set up reminders to take their blood pressure and view those readings in 7-day, 4-week and 1-year reports.

The reports can even be exported as PDFs and shared with doctors.

According to the company, the Index BPM has a battery life of up to 9 months and comes with four AAA batteries that can be easily replaced when needed.
