Can I measure my blood pressure with Apple Watch?
This is probably the most asked question by anybody who finds traditional blood pressure cuffs bothersome and inconvenient. Apple Watch alone cannot take a blood pressure reading. The only medically accurate and validated way to do so today is by stopping the blood flow by inflating a blood pressure cuff around your upper arm and then deflating it while listening for changes in your arteries. To use your Apple Watch to measure blood pressure, you will need a connected blood pressure monitor that has been medically validated for accuracy such as QardioArm, which has been clinically tested, FDA approved and has a CE Mark.

Open the Qardio app on your Apple Watch and tap the START button. Do this after you have fitted your QardioArm on your left upper arm, ready to inflate.
