    I might be wrong, It’s not like measuring blood science is rocket science. You can have an analog bracelet and pump, or for cheap buy an electronic one that you can operate with a single button.

    I’m sure this will have its uses for people who are on the go a lot, but measuring at home has always been an option. If anything the advantage here is to measure on the go.

      I also question it’s accuracy - I have had several doctors tell me the wrist cuff ones regularly read 10 points high, and many cheap ones are just almost random of 20 points so rather unreliable. I have also seen that in personal use, and taken several to the Dr Office to be tested. I don’t like it, and I wish it was different, but the only brand and type recommend by my current Doctor is an upper arm style from Omron.
