    After seeing distinct errors with my ancient Omron wrist blood pressure cup, it is time to replace. Rather than go with pieces, I'm looking for a system:
    • upper arm blood pressure cup - bluetooth and recording
    • pulse oximeter - bluetooth and recording
    • floor scale - bluetooth and recording
    • glucose meter - bluetooth and recording
    • EKG (optional) - bluetooth and recording
    I would prefer one vendor for the health monitoring system. The EKG is NOT a hard requirement. The first four, blood pressure, oximeter, floor scale, and glucose are.

    Any recommendations?

    have you tried the vna? they dropped off a complete system to my dad with transponder and made a weekly visit at no charge.
    i have been donating to them ever since they helped both my parents

    I appreciate the suggestion but I'm looking for a set of hardware, a system, to keep the records so I won't have to manually update a spreadsheet. Lazy data collection to my iPhone. <GRINS>

    What could I learn by taking those that often?

    I depends upon whether you are on meds for an existing condition.

    well, you might catch something early. i take the bp because i'm on lisinopril for kidney disease. once a week would probably be fine.
    i caught the pvc's with the cuff, which monitors hearbeat and displayed an irregular beat. told my doc and she sent me for an echo and ekg. confirmed, but there's nothing to do for it.
