Hilo Blood Pressure Monitor Bracelet – 24/7 Continual BP Tracking, Clinically Validated Medical Device with App Insights & Optional Membership for Heart Health & Hypertension Management

This item was not accurate and I was admitted to a and e with high readings which were not the same on a BP arm measure. This is not accurate and my anxiety levels not to mention a and e trip was not necessary.

My story is I have inherited hypertension. I'm on medication to control it but it apparently isn't working very well. Or is it? If I go the the Doctors then my BP goes up. If they measure my BP then I'm so nervous of a bad reading then this makes it worse. So how do I answer these questions? Well I hope this device does that. First appraisal of the device is, it works! It was easy to set up on my Android phone. Pair the device and the cuff. Then follow the instructions on the App to calibrate the system. Very well designed user experience.I'm fretting that my BP is being measured, and it's high, which makes me fret more. However, the numbers are pretty well what the normal, automatic machine reports. So I hope to get used to it being on my wrist and then see what my BP really is.I have two choices. Ignore the situation and wait for something nasty to happen. Alternatively be proactive, monitor the problem, and help the Doc help me. I chooses the latter. Thanks to this product I now have the tools to do that. Worth every penny when you look at it like that.

Bought this item with great anticipation that I would have 24/7 monitoring of my blood pressure.It was easy to set up once both items were charged by following the guide.I set up the measurement schedule and ensured that the wrist device was connected to my phone by Bluetooth and to the app.Nothing happened although I ensured my wrist ( and that the Hilo was connected) and phone were within 30cm of each other at the scheduled times. I am bitterly disappointed.Also the devise needs to be in range of the phone at the scheduled times which wouldn’t always be possible when a busy person.

Reassuring!Early days (just 60 hours of “continuous” monitoring). Excellent, so far (it’s a 2 part system - wrist sensor for continuous wear; their traditional cuff for periodic pairing and data validation).Been using standard cuff machine, for some years, but last couple of months with elevated spot readings.This system periodically monitors your BP from a simple wrist band sensor (46 times, so far).App displays history of each reading and summarises into simple to understand daily / weekly / monthly averages (after a couple of weeks will also show trends).An initial concern was gaps in daily readings. Sensor works without any sensation or visible LED etc. looking at App there were several hours elapsed without reading. But FAQ show that readings taken during periods of relative calm / inactivity thus day time readings tend to be less frequent.Only minor comments that sensor band doesn’t fit easily along side a watch - I need to wear on opposite arm. Band itself is simple Matt black strap with chrome fastenings. Not particularly aesthetic - but in this case, its function over form.

The product support app only works in a few countries. Before purchasing, confirm from the supplier that the product support app works in your country. Am now stuck with a product that can’t work and the supplier will not accept a return.

I have a suspected heart condition and I also have white coat syndrome so I was keen to get a clear picture of my blood pressure not influenced by other factors.This little device is perfect and is proving a godsend so far. It’s great being unaware when it’s going to take a reading.

Be aware that without signing up for Membership you now only get basic average data.

Like another customer found, the Bracelet would not calibrate or connect with the Cuff. Tried umpteen times and placed the Cuff and the Bracelet correctly to no avail. I followed the instructions implicitly too. I even switched arms for the Cuff etc but the left arm was even harder to connect the Bracelet and the Cuff than the suggested position. I really wanted this to work but if the initial calibration connection didn't work, it did not auger well for measuring B.P. in use. It kept saying the signal was weak although I have never had trouble with other B.P. devices. The Hauwei D2 watch does much the same as this Hilo and has far more info re health and is a great smart watch even though slightly more expensive.
