FTA: "at certain times by monitoring it 24/7 with an app"

How can the app do this without a BP device constantly attached to one's arm, inflating/deflating all the time? Or is it just a spreadsheet for entering the values? The article was skimpy on the details.

Good question. There are ambulatory blood pressure monitoring devices, but much more common are devices that take discrete readings. At Bettir, we factor in all data points.

Ambulatory is not necessary in many cases though, where a simple daily reading still provides vastly more information than the once or twice a year that most people go to their doctor.

Most of our users record 1-3 readings per day, which provides a wealth of useful data.
