TECH REVIEW - Blood Pressure Monitoring Watch
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 08. 2024
- Hello everyone!
In this video we will be reviewing the Fitfort Ftiness Tracker, which is a blood pressure monitoring watch! I was really intrigued to find out that a BP monitoring watch exists, especially because it is only $32 on Amazon! (as of 8/20/20)
I was honestly pretty impressed with the results!

Hello everyone! Thank you all for watching the video. I just wanted to let you all know that as I mentioned in this video, I bought this for my uncle. I made this video of me testing it and gave my opinion on its performance. I thought it was pretty accurate (as seen on video). However, when I gave it to my uncle, we actually found that it was really inaccurate on him. He has high blood pressure and wanted to be able to measure it 24/7. Well, it turns out the watch was completely off on him - and yes, we did calibrate it on him. Not sure if this watch is maybe not intended for people with high blood pressure, or it "worked" with me because mine is pretty average. Either way - I would not recommend getting this watch if you suffer from blood pressure. Instead, I would get an FDA approved one instead: omronhealthcare.com/products/heartguide-wearable-blood-pressure-monitor-bp8000m/?gclid=CjwKCAjwgviIBhBkEiwA10D2j13JHcTIHpI8O_y_XH3PCy0xaGFDQuEt0bhiNEBFWBNnthOZFElc8xoCUMUQAvD_BwE
It seems to me that any watch that claims to measure blood pressure without using an inflatable cuff to stop blood flow is a hoax and false advertising.
Thank you for the honesty and efforts.
The most accurate way to take a BP reading is to listen for the sounds in a stethoscope while releasing the air from a cuff. It’s tough to perform on yourself if even possible.
agreed!
I check my own pressure all the time with a cuff and scope. It just takes practice.
Is their a tutorial for this ???
Huh? This doesn't make sense. You can't measure blood pressure with sound. Well, *maybe* you could with some advanced equipment, but certainly not with the human hear.
The only reason one would listen while ALSO CHECKING blood pressure is to obtain pulse. That's literally the only reason. Nothing else is achieved. Unless I'm drunk and in some parallel dimension... But anything is possible...
*Except for hearing blood pressure*
Hear or feel Pulse stop and start
It's VERY important. I had no idea that high blood pressure can and will damage your kidneys. Not even my cardiologist told me the but my Endo.
More tech reviews please! ⌚️ not an official medical device but still gets the job done, this is amazing!
We will, we just got a 3d pen and are excited to share about it!
I liked the data analysis part in the spreadsheet.
great!
To test calibration, you would have to use someone with hypertension. If with medication the blood pressure were 170:95, and with medication 125:75 that would provide a good test for your watch.
Without a large variation range, one cannot say anything about the results or the quality of the bp measurement.
Without that, you are not testing the bp meter... you are just testing the reproducibility of the calibration.
Did anyone notice that when she put the blood pressure cuff on, it was the wrong way round. The inflation pipe was positioned under the arm instead of just above the crease of the arm
I did not know this. But thanks for pointing it out!
@@TheBMELife Yes, I think it's because the Brachial artery is in this region and the opening of the inflation tube should be positioned there to pick up the sound of the pulse. As pressure is applied the pulse is cut off and when it is released it resumes. These points are measured and used to determine the systolic and diastolic pressures. This is my understanding but I'm not a doctor so maybe one can comment?
Hi it is very nice of you to look out for your uncle and share your finds with us. Thank you I was very impressed with your video.
Thank you!
The denominator is supposed to be the value of the monitor rather than that of the watch, right? btw! I super love this video! It is so encouraging* to see that a young bme knows how to apply the things you have learned in bme to your life and world problems and that of others! Makes me want to do that too! Btw! the mistake I mentioned is really just a question cause I am not super used to the formula I just googled it rn
There are a few more blood pressure watches that have passed FDA and CE standards. They are between$200 and $300. More coming out all the time.
Thanks for sharing! Definitely exciting to see more advancement in this area
Good review but you should have the cuff and the watch on separate arms for more accurate readings.
Hi Tom, thanks so much for the feedback! That’s very interesting. Can you further explain how this would help with accuracy? Would love to learn! 😊
wait won't both arms give you different readings? The way she did it seemed the most accurate...
Love this review!! So helpful ☺️
I meant to comment through this account! Wanted to let you know I LOVE your channel! ☺️ so much useful/ interesting information!
The STEMinist Network thank you SOO much!! I can definitely say the same about yours 😊 about to watch the video on how to land your engineering job 😌
So kind of you 💚
OMG, 5 minutes before you get to what we came here for? sheeesh! Land the plane already!
Lol! This is a channel on Biomedical Engineering. I wanted to give proper background on the device that I’m sure our audience/subscribers would appreciate. Sorry you found it so frustrating. I’m sure you can find another review out there that better addresses your needs.
I can only dream of 107 over 77
Pro tip: You don’t have to say that you are continuing the video later in the day. Just do the jump cut and say 2 hours later or something.
lol! I know right? Thanks
This review is helpful. In my mind, only the Omron watch was accurate. It’s good to know there are reliable BP watches in the market.
b Lose I would love to try the Omron one out! To be completely honest, although I was initially impressed with this bp watch, giving it to my uncle to try turned out to not be so accurate. The accuracy is fine when monitoring a stable bp, but when it came to his, which goes to ~180/38 after exercise, it was NOT accurate at all. We ended up having to return it 😕
Thank you for the review ... you are really naturally gorgeous 😍
Thank you
Excellent explanation
Help a lot to decide purchase the watch
Happy to help!
Good and honest review. Thanks.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed 😊
BP measurement on all these watches is nonsense.
how cute her voice is
Was Looking for a comparison video. was helpful. Thank you. Like and subscribed✨💯
Glad it was helpful!
No longer available, what's good now in September 2022 in this price range with blood pressure monitoring?
Great video. But I have one problem with your testing. You have the monitor sleave on the same arm as the watch. I wonder wether that could effect results. But I have to say that the results are close enough for me to think that the watch is a viable reliable device.
Thank you! I've gotten this comment before. I did not think of this at the moment, but makes total sense. And actually, if you see my pinned comment, the watch turned out to be not so accurate when worn by someone with hypertension. With me it was "accurate" because my BP is "normal". But it did not really do a great job at measuring pressures outside the "normal" ranges, unfortunately.
You are awesome and thank you.
Aww thank you!
Thank you 😊
Youre welcome! 🤗
Good. Straight forward. Thx.
Thank you!! 😊
Reason for discrepant results is that you were measuring blood simultaneously from both device on same arm. The way blood pressure is monitored is need of external pressure device to stop blood flow and record pressure at the time blood flow resume. Hence device without external pressure mechanism will not be accurate.
This was brought up to my attention too by other people in the comments. Thanks!
interesting, I was looking for a legit video about smartwatch that could monitor blood pressure , but it was so hard to find. Thank you so much. I still can't believe is working not so bad. I have high blood preasue an is pain in an a... to use regular devices to truck it and I should do it 3 time a day , I am to lazy to do that, but with this watch it will be much more easier. I don't know why they are not advertising it more, is like is just not perfect and they need to test it more before it will be approve as a medical device.
It actually ended up not working so well, unfortunately. For someone with normal BP I think it worked well, but when my uncle with high BP used it, it was no longer being accurate 😓
Most of the less expensive smart bands don't actually measure blood pressure. They assign a number based on the detected heart rate. That isn't a problem for people with normal blood pressure, but it doesn't work for people with abnormal blood pressure.
Does it have alarm to wake you up when you are sleeping if blood pressure is high ?
Hello
May I ask you if you know any reliable wearable device , smartwatch , to monitor blood glucose and pressure ?
The watch I got didn’t come with a charger and it won’t turn on and I don’t know how to charge it
Tnx dear for thi information
I need a video showing How it does
Good review
Thanks!
Do you feel anything when you are just using the watch? Is there any sound like a blood pressure machine? I have really bad white coat syndrome, so I panic and it creates high blood pressure. So I am thinking if it's very quiet then I won't panic and I can get an accurate reading.
It does not make any noise at all while wearing the watch. However, after using this watch for longer periods of time, I would not recommend its use, especially if you have a medical condition. It turned out to not be very accurate :/
THANK you !! ~4+minutes between taking BP w cuff is better (can try other arm ), also try standing and try when lie down. Does it measure oxygen? (accurately)
Thanks for suggestions! I don't remember.. this was a watch for my uncle so I didn't keep it myself. I am 90% sure tho that it did NOT measure oxygen.
@@TheBMELife , thank you. Am trying to find a way to know BP when sleeping, so a record of it. Can your Uncle search BP back during rest of day or night on this "watch"?
How can we monitor the BP by fibit charge 5 ?
Make a video of calibration
Hi, thank you for your review, very helpfull indeed. Question: what's the medically proven watch that costs 500$?? Where Can you find that? Txs
omronhealthcare.com/products/heartguide-wearable-blood-pressure-monitor-bp8000m/
Thank you! May I add that Omron is an official medical device manufacturer of blood pressure monitors, so they surely know what they're doing. :)
Can you help me to get this device kindly share me link to buy this and share me exact photo of the product and product id pls
There are so many other watches maybe you could try testing some others that also measure cholesterol etc. thank you.
Hi Barbara! Will definitely consider. Thank you so much! 😊
would you please make a video on which courses a biomedical graduate should pursue which would be beneficial in getting job.?please looking forward to your answer.
Hello Hira, hope you are doing well! While I haven't ever taken a course, I like to read up on what is happening in my field of interest. For example, which BME field interests you? What I would recommend is getting experience, one video I love sharing about how I was able to get a job offer even before graduating as a BME is this one: czcams.com/video/vQVd51A59jg/video.html
I go over what I did and what you could do to help you find a job after or even before graduating!
I used to use the chest strap / wrist strap watch and learned they are most accurate for HR. But I prefer to wear a just a wrist strap monitor. The whole chest strap is annoying. And I prefer to wear a wrist monitor on opposite arm as my arm with REAL “attractive” watch….Cus frankly, all smart watches are ugly. Watches are meant for looking cool and telling the time, NOT for answering messages or checking weather, with those stupid fake minute and second hands, or digital numbers on a screens. Yuk 🤮 . But I digress.
I’m thinking of trying this little inexpensive monitor you so thoroughly and asmrishly reviewed. My BP has to lowered by this video. Haha
Anyways,
Well done and thanks.
Haha thanks for sharing your mind! I agree some of these watches can be “not stylish”. But I am actually a big fan of wearable medical technology, for people who need it of course!
Thanks a lot for your feedback!! ☺️
is just your opinion and it is fine but some people preferer usability over the look. So if someone like to do a sport and need something light on a hand to measure parameters then it is making it's job
The link to Amazon doesn't work anymore
I believe item is not sold anymore. Sorry!
So how does the watch know blood pressure without applying pressure to the veins?
Nice video 😊
Roboman Thank you! 😀
I'm old, I'm not a techie. Less info on if it works. More info on how, it works, and does the app require an subscription fee.
Thanks for the feedback. Our channel is tailored for “techies”, Biomedical engineers to be exact. But I understand this video has potential for reaching other audiences, so thanks for bringing that up. It did not require a subscription.
I’m looking around for a bloodpressure monitor and found you🙂
In the description you put a link to Amzon but I’m afraid it doesn’t work.
Sorry about that, it appears they took it down 😪
you should not measure BP the same time on one hand, because the pressure of the cuff , will impact the reading on smart watch
Noted. Thanks so much for the information!
excel also does that?wow
so sweet
☺️
She is so cute. I think I'm going to buy one!!
What is the app
How much price
I believe this is no longer available in the market
Have you heard of or reviewed the Fitnus smart watch with blood pressure monitor. I just found that one and it is currently $49.95. Would love to know the comparison
I have not. But I can tell you the watch in this video ended up not being so great. Will definitely look into potentially buying and reviewing the Fitnus smart watch. Thanks!
plzz tell the price
It was around $27 USD on Amazon I believe. But it was brought to my attention that they no longer sell it there.
Can you do a video about the programs/apps you use on your laptop for biomedical engineering.💕💕
Shouq Odai will do! Thanks for the suggestion 😊
Good
Thank you! 😊
@@TheBMELife my pleasure 😊
Hi can I share your resume and covering letter for me...i too want to apply for a BME post
So cute 😜
😃
Can we study biomed engineering in masters after pursuing a bachelors degree in electrical engineering?
Yes! From what I have seen, BME masters only require a background in engineering or a related discipline
Why are you so cute? My BP rises when I look at you.
Haha! I appreciate your kind words :D
I have you a 👍🏼 but you don’t teach how to use it or how to calibrate it. Just for you to improve on doing videos
Thanks for the feedback! This video was for reviewing its performance, but I’ll take a note on making a video tutorial on how to use it.
🤓
😯👓🤏
😎😎
you're so cute 🌹
Thank you! :)
So many irrelevant things...
🤔
thanks very much
Happy to help!
How about measure blood glucose levels in real time? I'd love to find one that measures that.
they have one, but its not a watch..
Its called glucometer and u need a drop of blood for that
Look for "Continuous Glucose Monitor". It's a small device with a short needle you attach, usually to your arm or stomach. Some come with a separate monitor, and others connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth.
