Perfect way for you and your doctor to keep an ongoing history. For those with white coat syndrome essential to keep a record. Have been using the app for over 3 years.
Does it well and easy. Recommended by my doctor. I use it for BP and glucose. Very easy to setup and use as well as being able to send results to doctor. Well thought out I fully recommend this app. The history charts are plain and simple. I really like the averaging feature for history. Good job developers. The only thing I would like to see is being able to connect to my Life Source BP pump and a feature for my Phillips Dream Station CPAP.
great app. would like to be able to send multiple results in one e-mail instead of seperatly
Sphygmo App is a real discovery that has turned to out to be a welcome help. After trying out quite a few apps, I came across this app. It has the ability to work both automatically with selected BP devices, alternatively, data can be entered manually. This is particularly useful because the app can save blood pressure, Glucose, Weight, Temperature, Respiratory Rate and Oxygen Saturation data from finger devices. Few apps do this, most process one or two of these. Unique to this app is the a double measurement from which an average is calculated for a selected time /date. In other words, it is more reflective of the actually measured factor with the second measurement taken a minute later (or can be skipped). Those with selected devices can use the Bluetooth connection. Data can be exported readily for 30 day, last year and all time periods. Just choose the program you wish to have it delivered to through the Share feature. Developed by doctors and engineers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada this app is handled through a university start-up company (mmHg Inc. Canada). The fact that it is free is simply amazing. If you want to support the group you can opt to send in €2.39 to support their work using the Google Play Store which makes it quick and easy. Sphygmo App appears to be developed with a model of health care in mind that could allow patients and doctors to see and share the same results. Patients would provide health care providers / doctors with sufficient permissions to access data thereby cutting down paperwork, speeding up doctor / patient diagnosis and communication. This is a model I have seen with health sensors that is emerging. Hopefully this app will continue to involve doctors in its development, as it could really help people where a more full coverage of data integration arises through many types of sensors. I can't say enough positive things about the Sphygmo App. That is because I tested quite a few and learned very quickly there is a lot of variability between them and few apps handle so many measurement types. It exports data, graphs results and allows for data recovery. Obviously the price is right and surprising. Perhaps the App is in development, and hopefully any change in pricing would be minimal. A few points for development I would like to see: -- Language options could be expanded to include French, German, Spanish and so on. -- While measuring is handled well, there is no indication whether or not the user has varying degrees of hypertension etc. based on the values. Doctors would obviously know what measurements mean, and some indication of that might be useful. Even colors like green, yellow and red, for example. -- A data import function would be useful. In my case, once I found this app, I wanted to move all my data into it, but there is no import function beyond selected devices it interfaces. -- It would be great if this app could connect to an ergometer while exercising, and record data through bluetooth. Heart and pulse data are often measured while riding along with cadence. In summary, this app is an excellent discovery, especially for the price. I hope these folks keep developing it. I highly recommend others to try it out.
Good app. I've only used the manual entry for blood pressure so far. Will test out other features as per need. One issue I found was that I kept clicking on the "Skip Second Measurement" button by mistake when I instead wanted to enter the second measurement. My suggestion is to ask the user for confirmation "Do you wish to skip the second measurement?" before continuing. This will prevent errors in entry. Thanks.
Very easy to use. Measurements shown clearly.
Awesomeness tool . I love the fact it gives you an opportunity to take it twice .
I'm all about keeping it simple and this app is just that simple and easy to use!
Works easily ... Have to develop habit of measuring tho'. That is up to me.
while this app is compatible with my Omrom BP786N and will transfer a BP test while connected, it does NOT transfer any BP tests that were done "outside" the app. I would like to take a day's worth of BP tests and sync with the app once a day. The transfer of multiple BP tests works fine, but if you do get an error, the OMRON will not transfer the data a second time. Using the MANUAL INPUT method to get these entries into the app is a serious pain. A table for input would be a vast improvement.
App will not do anything unless you complete registration with their company. That's before you can see if it works with your device and if it does what's wanted. Uninstalled. ADDED: Company says anonymous use of the app poses a security problem. (For who?) Even if that were true, why not let prospective users see if this app will connect successfully with their devices (many won't) before signing up?
Easy to use and useful application.
Just started using this. Very simple and easy to use. Just need an edit option for newbies that are learning. For example, my first input was 97 then the next day tried to put in a number over 100 and got an error message when I change it to mg/dL my 97 changed to 1748 OOPs.
Simple enough to use. Lacks edit feature, so you are stuck with mistakes. Don't like having to click through declining a second BP entry. Graphics lack imagination. Does the job. Ho hum.
Exported glucose data is not in the units I have selected in the settings
Have been using app for a few years now. Since the update in March 2022 it runs extremely slow on Android. Hope it is fixed soon or will have to look at a different app.
