FOR BLOOD PRESSURE

iHealth Wireless Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor, £64.99, telmenow.com THIS cuff sends your blood pressure reading data to your smartphone via an app. A sensor will also tell you if it’s in the wrong position, says the maker. EXPERT COMMENT: This monitor has been validated by the British and Irish Hypertension Society — but, while any one-off results should be reliable, it’s a good idea to take regular readings at a similar time, ideally sitting down after a rest, to see any trend, says Graham MacGregor, a professor of cardiovascular medicine at the Wolfson Institute in London. He adds: ‘Having your wrist in the wrong position often gives a misleading result, and this has sensor technology, which could be useful.’
