The Index BPM device is a standalone device that measures and displays blood pressure and pulse rate. You are not required to connect the device to a smartphone app. The optional smartphone app can only be used to store data for personal record keeping.
Clinical Benefit
Home blood pressure monitoring allows you to participate in your own health care. It helps reduce health care costs, and can improve both the quality and outcome of hypertension management. Being able to monitor your blood pressure and pulse allows you to seek medical attention early when readings are outside the normal range.
