If your doctor has asked you to watch your BP, skip the old-school machines and go with a smart blood pressure monitor. No more trying to find a scrap of paper to write down your readings and, later, trying to find that piece of paper.
Smart blood pressure monitors work in tandem with your smartphone and tablet, storing records digitally forever inside an app. You can instantly share results with your healthcare team, import them to your health and fitness apps, and look back on your results to chart your progress.
These are the best smart pressure monitors you can buy this year.
