Nowadays, many elderly people suffer from hypertension, which is also a major killer of the elderly. In order to better monitor the physical condition of the elderly, many younger generations have bought smart blood pressure monitors for the elderly, which can clearly and easily detect their blood pressure at any time. But many elderly friends don't know how to use it. So, how to use a smart blood pressure monitor? Let's take a look together.
1. The main interface structure is relatively simple, with only three options: "blood pressure measurement", "view results", and "love family". This concise and clear design is necessary for elderly users. We first go to the "Love Family" option and click on the avatar to create a personal profile. After saving, return to the main interface and slide to "Blood Pressure Measurement". You will see a prompt to insert your phone into the blood pressure monitor and start measuring.
2. Insert the Redmi into the body of the blood pressure monitor, and the LED indicator light will automatically light up to indicate the current battery status. At this time, when the screen is unlocked, Redmi will automatically pop up an authorization to allow USB devices to start the Aijiakang APP. After confirming the authorization, the system will automatically open the Aijiakang APP and jump to the "blood pressure measurement" option. At this time, a prominent circular "start measurement" button will appear in the center of the interface. At this point, the mobile device is ready, and the next step is to wear the cuff correctly.
3. When wearing, place the red edge of the cuff facing the palm, with the edge 50px above the elbow joint, and place the trachea in the middle of the arm, in line with the middle finger. Attention should be paid to the effective measurement range of the winding, and the tightness should be barely inserted by one finger. Maintain a seated posture with palms up and arms level on the table, with the cuff at the same level as the heart.
4. Everything is ready. Click the "Start Measurement" button in the APP, and the interface will go to the "Measuring" state. At this time, the cuff will start to inflate and pressurize, and the arm will slowly feel a bit compressed. At the same time, the APP will display the collected pulse wave pressure change curve. After the pressurization is completed, there is less noise when the cuff is deflated, and the measurement results will be quickly displayed in the APP during deflation. The entire measurement process takes about 25 seconds, which is relatively fast among similar products.
5. In the measurement results, the first thing we see is the data of high and low pressure, heart rate, and the current blood pressure status level. The text color of the high and low pressure data and level range adopts the standard color scheme of WHO blood pressure level, with green for ideal, normal, and normal high, yellow to orange transition for mild high and moderate high, and red for severe hypertension.
6. Dragging up the interface, we can also see more data, such as the current position of blood pressure in the WHO model, recorded mood, pulse waves during measurement, the results of the last 7 measurements and trend charts, etc. If a personal profile has been set up, we can also see an interpretation report. The current report is relatively simple, and it is recommended to provide more detailed health guidance based on individual physical conditions in the future.
The above is the encyclopedia introduction about how to use smart blood pressure monitors. Smart blood pressure monitors need to be used in conjunction with mobile apps, so younger generations cannot simply purchase them. It is still necessary to further explain to the elderly how to use them correctly. I hope this article can be helpful to elderly friends.
