High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common medical condition that affects millions of people around the world. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make necessary lifestyle changes to keep it under control. Fortunately, advancements in technology have made it easier to keep track of your blood pressure readings using a Bluetooth blood pressure monitor and the SmartBP app. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to connect your Bluetooth blood pressure monitor to the SmartBP app and help you take control of your blood pressure management.
What is a Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor?
A Bluetooth blood pressure monitor is a device that connects wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth technology to measure your blood pressure. It consists of a cuff that goes around your arm, a pump that inflates the cuff, and a digital monitor that displays your blood pressure readings. Some Bluetooth blood pressure monitors can also measure your heart rate and store your readings in an app for easy access.

What is SmartBP App?
SmartBP® is an app designed to help you track and manage your blood pressure readings. It's available for both iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. SmartBP allows you to log your blood pressure readings, view trends and graphs, set reminders to take your blood pressure, and share your readings with your healthcare provider.

What Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitors can connect to SmartBP App?
SmartBP easily synchronizes with popular blood pressure monitors that support the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) standard blood pressure services, such as the A&D, Omron, and Beurer Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitors. Note that while Bluetooth is a standard service, the manufacturer of the blood pressure monitor must enable their device to connect to Bluetooth services, and we cannot control whether they allow our app to connect to it. The good news is that SmartBP's Bluetooth connection is available for free, so you can experiment with it at no cost when using your Bluetooth blood pressure monitor.
What are the advantages of a Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor over manually logging the measurements?
A Bluetooth blood pressure monitor offers several advantages over manually entering measurements. First, it simplifies the process of recording and tracking blood pressure readings, as the monitor can automatically transfer the readings to a mobile device running an app like SmartBP. This eliminates the need for manual data entry, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. Second, the app can display the data in an easy-to-read format, allowing users to monitor their blood pressure trends over time and detect any potential issues. Additionally, the app may offer features such as reminders to take measurements, personalized advice, and the ability to share data with healthcare providers. Overall, a Bluetooth blood pressure monitor can make it easier and more convenient for individuals to monitor their blood pressure and improve their overall health.

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

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

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!
