7. Fit your Aktiia cuff on the opposite arm. Follow the on-screen instructions, noting the Aktiia cuff must be placed on the opposite arm as the Aktiia bracelet, i.e., if you wear the Aktiia bracelet on your RIGHT wrist, place the Aktiia cuff over your LEFT arm and vice versa.
Please note that if the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not be accurate. 4. While seated, place your hand, palm side-up in front of you so that it is supported by a flat surface and the Aktiia cuff is at the same height as your heart.
2. Place your hand palm-side down in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or a table. 3. The middle of the Aktiia cuff should be placed at the same level as your heart. 4. Do not move or tense your arm muscles during measurement.
Your Aktiia bracelet automatically tracks your blood pressure. Measurements are triggered every hour, during the day and at night. We use a secured cloud server to store your data, not your Aktiia bracelet or your phone. Therefore, visualizing your data in the Aktiia app requires a working internet connection to synchronize with the Aktiia secure cloud server.

Visualizing your Blood Pressure data • Use the Aktiia app to see your blood pressure data, every vertical line represents the average measurements taken during the displayed period. • The top endpoint of the line is the systolic (SYS) value, and the bottom endpoint of the line is the diastolic (DIA) value.
How to evaluate your Blood Pressure The Aktiia app and devices are not intended to be diagnostic devices. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are potentially dangerous. You should always consult your doctor for relevant interpretation of blood pressure results.
