iHealth Lab unveils advanced blood pressure monitor for $40

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — iHealth Lab on Tuesday unveiled the iHealth Ease Blood Pressure Monitor, an FDA-approved blood pressure testing device. With a suggested retail price of $39.99, advanced app features and free unlimited data storage, iHealth Ease is looking to make advanced monitoring technology more widely available, the company stated.  

 

“Priced under $40 and loaded with advanced features, the app-based iHealth Ease makes traditional, non-connected blood pressure monitors virtually obsolete,” Steve Monnier, VP sales and marketing at iHealth, said. “The Ease breaks new ground making it easier than ever to track, monitor, and share data with your doctor, as part of a management program to improve overall heart health.  We are proud to bring this technology to market at a price affordable for every home.”

 

The iHealth Ease is a blood pressure monitor and cuff solution controlled by MyVitals, iHealth's free Android and iOS app. The iHealth Ease features an innovative “Triple Check” option that measures blood pressure three times and then averages the results to deliver a baseline reading accurate to within 3% for pressure and 5% for pulse. The reading is transferred via Bluetooth to the user's iHealth account, which uses HIPAA-compliant data storage space where users can analyze and chart their data using MyVitals, and share this information with a doctor or caregiver.

 

The Ease is compatible with most Android 4.0+ and Apple iOS7 (or later) devices. The product is available online through Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and BestBuy.com and in retail stores.
