Disclaimer of Liability
The "Blood Pressure and Weight" application is intended to collect your self-measurement of blood pressure and weight. The indications are not advice and should not be treated as such. No endorsement of any treatment or medication is implied; in addition to using this application and prior to any decision to treat hypertension, you should seek informed medical advice. Consult your physician to interpret the data collected.
IMPORTANT: This application is intended to store your blood pressure and weight readings for medical monitoring. In this case, this application is NOT a blood pressure monitor and is not a substitute for one. This means that you cannot measure your blood pressure directly from the application. Use an appropriate medical blood pressure monitor.
Hypertension should be taken very seriously. It is more than just a risk factor, it is a chronic disease. Its constant progression is the consequence of our changing lifestyles, in particular a diet too rich in fat and salt, as well as a decrease in physical activity.
In addition to monitoring your blood pressure, this application will also allow you to closely monitor your weight. High blood pressure is a well-known cardiovascular risk factor that is often associated with being overweight. Generally, if weight increases, so does blood pressure.
Hypertension cannot be cured, but it can be treated very well. Effective treatments now make it possible to live longer and without disabling complications. But only if you know that you have high blood pressure!
To avoid becoming one of them, remember to measure your blood pressure regularly, at home or at your doctor's.
If you are already taking a treatment, try to follow it carefully: compliance is essential in controlling your hypertension!
You should also be aware that treatment can only be effective if you also follow simple lifestyle rules.
Your involvement in your treatment and the follow-up by your doctor will allow you to reduce the risks associated with hypertension as much as possible.
A single reading at your doctor's office does not always reflect reality, as blood pressure varies according to fatigue, emotion, stress, etc. To reduce the risk of error, you can take your blood pressure yourself, with a suitable blood pressure measuring device that you can buy in shops or any pharmacy. (note: this application is not a device for measuring your blood pressure; you need a suitable medical blood pressure monitor).
The "Blood Pressure and Weight" application allows you to better monitor your blood pressure and weight. You can edit a report of your self-measurements (pdf or paper) that you can send to your doctor. The measurement history will allow your doctor to see at a glance the evolution of your hypertension and weight over time.
