Great Digital BPM
on September 28, 2016
Posted by: CraigB7

The digital blood pressure monitor is great. I took it right out of the packaging, read the easy to follow instructions, and began to use it immediately with no problems. I downloaded the free Philips HealthSuite App on my iPhone and synced the BPM via Bluetooth to track the readings using the app. It works perfectly. I have been checking my BP daily in the morning and tracking it over time with the app.
Summary
Whether you chose to download the app or not, this is a nice, easy to use blood pressure monitor. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs to monitor their health.

Pros: it is all one unit other than the charger... no bu, ove the tracking features of the free philips heal, the digital readout screen is easy to read, readings are accurate
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got the Phillips digital blood pressure cuff and have been overall pleased with it's performance. The digital readout is easy to read. The battery life is good; I only have to charge it once every few months with twice-a-day readings, and the charging takes about an hour. Readings take less than 30 seconds.
The blood pressure cuff can be problematic, especially if you have a petite build and small arms like me, which may throw off the readings. The velcro doesn't seem to hold very well and will sometimes interrupt the reading by coming completely undone, causing a reading error. I've had to hold the cuff in place during the reading so that it won't fly open.
My main issue is with the Philips Health app. The app only records the last reading, so in order to get an overall view of my blood pressure over time (with multiple readings), I had to keep my results in a spreadsheet--which defeats the purpose of having the app in the first place. Also, the app doesn't work properly. When I got a new smartphone, stopped registering readings at all automatically, even with the Bluetooth activated--I had to input them manually until I decided to not use the app altogether and just use my spreadsheet to record readings.
Overall, it's a decent cuff, but there are others on the market for a comparable price that may work better and have better associated technology.
Pros: clear readout, quick measurements, good battery life, allows for multiple users
Cons: terrible philips health app, velcro doesn't close well, not as accurate for thinner/smaller arms

Good machine, cannot activate from app

I just received the Philips Upper arm blood pressure monitor DL8760/37 today and immediately downloaded the PHS app to connect with bluetooth to the device.
It works well, smooth, quiet, and gives the required information, SBP, DBP, Pulse. An in addition, I guess it evaluates the heart rate for regular vs irregular, which is good.
However, the one thing I was counting on, was missing. I cannot initiate the blood pressure check from the app. I must physically push the button on the machine, same as any other automated blood pressure machine. So all the app does is record your readings. Yes its handy, but does not step beyond a standard blood pressure machine.
It is my fault I guess for assuming I could do this, and it's kind of late to find out it doesn't after already paying for it and receiving the device in the mail.
I jumped to this conclusion because I read about other bluetooth blood pressure monitors that do have the capability to run the device from your phone via bluetooth.
Pros: slick looking, runs quietly quickly
Cons: cannot operate the device from the bluetooth app.

It's Just OK...

The Phillips BPM device has a sleek cool appearance. I received this device along with a scale and health watch as a free sample for my review. The first thing I must mention is that the instructions that come with this device are intimidating to say the least. I'm talking pages and pages of information. Reality: no one is going to read through all of that stuff before just trying to use the device on their own. I suppose its good to have the information to refer to if you should have trouble getting the device to operate. Additionally, there is an app that you can download to your phone that works along with the device(s). I found out that the app is not available for ipad; however it is available for iphone. I scored the BPM average because the readings it gave were inconsistent. I have another BPM that we took to our doctor's office to have calibrated just to be sure we were getting accurate readings. I compared the two and the Phillips BPM was always off; and typically it misread on the high end which could be concerning. Overall the BPM looks good but I did not find it to be a consistent measure of an accurate blood pressure reading.
Pros: looks good
Cons: reading was inconsistent

I really like this device

I love this blood pressure monitor. I can easily carry it around in my purse. The charge lasts for at least 6 hours. It reads very accurately. I am monitoring my blood pressure because I was diagnosed with hypertension. My medication is new and my doctor is trying to figure out which medication is right for me. This came right in time. I could easily measure and read my blood pressure 3xs a day anywhere that I was. It had very few errors. It`s went great with my fit watch and the app that comes with it helps me remember my weekly blogs pressure reading. I used it at the doctors office. It read the exact same as the manual reading. This is a great lightweight in the go blood pressure monitor. It could be a little lighter in weight but for right now it`s perfect
Disclaimer: I recieved this product for free as a medical evaluation for someone who has hypertension

Good Blood Pressure Monitor
on November 17, 2016
Posted by: Aimer
Gender:Female
I received the Phillips Blood Pressure Monitor as a free product to review.
I found it to be easy to use and nice that you don't need an additional person to put it on and tighten it for use. It comes with a detailed (lengthily - not sure someone would sit and read all of it) instruction manual. The monitor is designed to be used with the free Philips HealthSuite App so you can track your readings, but you don't have to use the app, you can just use the device and take your BP if you don't have a smartphone. The monitor is pretty comfortable and the readings seem accurate.
The unit is pretty small in size and it comes with a rechargeable battery, which seems to last for quite awhile.

Life-Changing!

This product was life-changing in that I could track my daily readings and easily have them stored for my doctor to review. As a person new to using blood pressure medication, my doctor often wanted to know how my readings were responding to changes he would make in dosage, etc. After using this, which pairs with a mobile app, I could show him my readings and he knew if my numbers were consistent or anomalies. The integration with the mobile app is EVERYTHING! It even has 2 users in case you have a spouse or another user that needs to track theirs as well. I should mention that I was sent a free sample to use for this review. However, I would gladly pay the money for this device, it was/is that good!
Pros: bluetooth, mobile app, track multiple users
I would recommend this to a friend!
