High-Tech Health Devices
When Anita Mirchandani’s father-in-law monitored his blood pressure at home using an over-the-counter blood pressure cuff, he frequently forgot to keep a record of the readings. He could only tell her whether he thought his blood pressure was high or low on that particular day. So when Mirchandani, a registered dietician and spokesperson for the New York State Dietetic Association, found iHealth’s wireless blood pressure cuff, she asked her dad to try it.
“The device takes a reading and transmits the systolic and diastolic numbers to an app, which is synced through a Bluetooth. It is phenomenal because I can track his trends,” said Mirchandani.
