  • Omron Evolv Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor ($70): The portable monitor provides precise clinical readings and features a built-in display that conveniently shows your results. Through Bluetooth connectivity, the Omron BPM effortlessly syncs with your Apple Watch via the Omron Connect mobile app.

The article from CNET discusses a feature on the Apple Watch that allows users to track their blood pressure indirectly through a third-party app called "HeartWatch." This app uses the watch's heart rate sensor to monitor heart rate variability (HRV), which can provide insights into stress levels and potentially correlate with blood pressure changes. While the Apple Watch itself does not have a built-in blood pressure monitor, HeartWatch offers features like tracking resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and even alerting users to potential high or low blood pressure conditions based on these metrics. The app also supports exporting data for sharing with healthcare providers, although it's emphasized that this method does not replace professional medical devices for precise blood pressure readings. The article highlights the convenience of using such an app for those looking to keep an eye on their cardiovascular health from anywhere, but it also cautions that these readings should be taken as estimates and not definitive medical data.
