BLOOD PRESSURE

The Blood Pressure screen allows you to track systolic and diastolic measurements and compare them to

standards set by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Blood Pressure screen displays readings

numerically as systolic/diastolic, for example 120/80 for 120 systolic over 80 diastolic. The systolic

measurement represents the maximum pressure exerted when the heart pumps while the diastolic

measurement is the pressure when the heart is relaxed. Each blood pressure measurement made with your

Wellness Connected device will record both of these values.

There are several different content items viewable in the Blood Pressure screen: a blood pressure chart, blood

pressure measurement details, and a pulse chart. Each chart displays measurements for a time period defined

in the data boxes located above the chart. Date ranges can either be selected via calendar selection or by

selecting a predefined time period from a drop down menu. When viewing longer time periods, the chart

displays average readings instead of individual readings. An information box listing averages is displayed on

the right side of the screen. These averages are for the selected time period and display the total average as

well as the averages for readings taken in the AM and in the PM. The content items are selected via buttons

located in the lower left side of the screen. On the lower right area are buttons for additional information

and a “Print” button. The “Print” button will only function when viewing the measurement details page.

Charts cannot be printed, only lists of your individual blood pressure readings over the time period selected

will print.

The blood pressure chart displays measurements with color coded circles. Systolic measurements are always

located above their corresponding diastolic measurements and linked together with a vertical line. A green

reading is considered “normal” as defined by the NIH, less than or equal to 120 mmHg for systolic or

80 mmHg for diastolic. A yellow reading is “borderline,” or slightly above the normal range and between

120/80 and 140/90. An orange reading is known as “Stage 1 Hypertension” and is defined as 140/90 or

greater, but less than 160/100. A red reading is known as “Stage 2 Hypertension” and is defined as any

reading of 160/100 or greater. The pulse chart tracks your heart rate, which is automatically captured each

time you take a blood pressure measurement. Since target heart rates vary substantially based on age, sex,

and health condition, there are no personal targets to set for this chart.

Individual measurement data is viewed by selecting the Blood Pressure Details table. Each reading displayed

in the table is time stamped and color coded like the points in the blood pressure chart. The table also

displays if a measurement recorded an irregular heartbeat (IHB) and allows you to add notes to each

reading. In addition, readings may be deleted by checking the box next to the reading and selecting the

“delete” button.
