5 Must Have Heart Monitors
We would all love a tricorder to run a quick scan to check if we are doing ok. While we are not there yet, today's health monitors are getting pretty advanced. Having your health information at your finger tips not only saves you the convenience of driving down to your local pharmacy or clinic to get a quick check up, but also empowers you to act quickly if you notice something isn't quite right. Here are some health monitors that can be used from the comfort of your home. Always make sure that the heart monitor you are considering is clinically validated and has received FDA clearance or approval.
Apple Watch Series 7
The Apple Watch is a powerful health monitoring tool. You can measure your ECG, Blood Oxygen, Irregular Heart Rhythms, monitor your sleep and track your fitness levels. Apple Watch EKG is FDA cleared. While the Apple Watch cannot detect heart attacks, it can help detect arrhythmias, such as Atrial Fibrillation, which can lead to blood clots that can cause strokes.
Omron Blood Pressure Monitors

Withings Weight Bathroom Scale

AliveCor KardiaMobile 6 lead EKG
AliveCor's personal 6 lead EKG device and heart monitor can help detect a number of heart rhythm complications (arrhythmias), including AFib and PVCs. You can also choose to subscribe to their service for enhanced analysis of your EKG and review by board certified cardiologists. AliveCor KardiaMobile 6 lead EKG is FDA Cleared.
Dario Blood Glucose Monitors
Dario is a FDA cleared blood glucose monitor that connects to your iPhone and Android mobile devices. The monitor simply plugs into your mobile device, however, make sure that the connection of the Dario device connects and is compatible with your phone model.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
For Android users, Samsung galaxy watch offers heart monitoring features such as ECG monitoring. Track your sleep and fitness activities. You can also monitor your blood oxygen levels (SpO2) while sleeping. Low blood oxygen saturation during sleep can be a sign of serious health conditions such as COPD, sleep apnea, etc.
I realize that I should be summarizing 5 instead of 6 monitors here but given that not everyone uses an iPhone, I thought it would be beneficial to list the Samsung galaxy watch here as well.

This is so much easier than writing it down!
Great way
to track BP
I’ve been having high BP readings at the clinic the last few months. Doctor is ready to put me on meds. I asked for a few weeks to check readings and improve lifestyle. This app is showing me so many things! Like what the average reading is and what percentage it’s on each category. Turns okay systolic the majority’s of the time but it looks like I have diastolic hypertension which is supposed to be rare. I wouldn’t have known this without the insights and stats screens.
Amazingly
helpful App
Best blood pressure tracking app that I have found. Very versatile. Developer responsive and continually looking to polish the app. No regrets upgrading to paid version. Extremely happy.
Always
improving
This app helps me track my blood pressure and assists my doctor in helping me with my hypertension.
Awesome
I had to monitor by BP for the Dr. while checking responses to medication. This was an efficient way to keep record for myself and show the Dr. my progress
SmartBP
helped me
keep track
I just got diagnosed with hypertension. This app has helped me and doctors find the best meds to use
Great
Unfortunately I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and need to monitor twice daily at least and review with my doctor every three months. She and I both love the app because you can track a lot more than just BP and you can share your findings. I love that I can SEE it clearly too as some other apps I tried were very small and very light text. Even though I could track in Apple health kit I prefer this for many reasons and you can pull the data from here to there anyway AND then other apps if you do desire like LoseIt!
Love this
App!
This is a very good app to track and analyze your blood pressure. It has been a tremendous help to me monitoring and charting my progress. I tried several apps before deciding that SmartBP was the clear winner.
Great App!
A great way to keep track of your blood pressure daily so you can keep up with your numbers.
Excellent
I’ve been using the app for a long time. Version 6.6 had a bug that wouldn’t open the app on my iPhone. Problem was fixed within 24 hours. Outstanding response.

SmartBP is being a great help to me tracking my blood pressure while I’m battling high pressure. Having the graphs and stats is encouraging when I see the downward trend. Being able to send a report to the doctor instantly is great for getting feedback from the doctor easily. I like that the limits can be modified and have changed mine (with help of my doctor) to reflect the parameters that apply for me. Great response from the developer to my questions and suggestions. You know you have a good app when the developer is working to make it better and responsive to input. I see from other posts that this developer is engaged with users and working on making the app even better!
Great App!
Great

This is an outstanding blood pressure app. I’m glad it’s very easy to use because I input my blood pressure several times a day. I like how it gives me an average of my blood pressure and that it gives me statistics and a graph of all my entries. Great app!
