Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

The upper arm blood pressure monitors of Jamr are generally used in individual home settings. But various factors could affect their accuracy and reliability. 

The dependability of a device depends upon how reliable the upper arm readings of the device measure the actual blood pressure of the user. Plenty of studies show that upper arm blood pressure monitors tend to be far more accurate than wrist blood pressure machine for home use. It works better because the portable arm blood pressure monitor is closest to the heart and provides reliable blood pressure measurement. Possible causes of inaccuracy in upper arm blood pressure monitors include cuff positioning, cuff size, and calibration. The instructions accompanying the monitor should be carefully followed for accurate readings. In addition, having the device regularly calibrated and maintained will ensure that its accuracy is preserved over time. Reliability can be defined as the extent to which repetitive measurement yields similar results from the upper arm portable blood pressure monitor. The reliability of upper arm blood pressure monitors could be affected by factors such as movement, irregular heart rhythms, and body position while taking the blood pressure readings. Blood pressure should be taken only under certain ideal conditions that include being still, resting a few moments before the measurement, and positioning the cuff correctly. 

Early Detection of Hypertension: Regular blood pressure checks can help in the early detection of high blood pressure (hypertension). Whereas high blood pressure is very often found without any symptom, many people do not have any overt symptoms until damage to the vital organs has already taken place. Regular monitoring can allow for the identification of elevated blood pressure levels that could motivate a person to seek the help of their physicians in a timely manner and prevent the onset of complications.

Management of Hypertension: Regular checks allow a patient diagnosed with hypertension to manage their blood pressure effectively. Home blood pressure values can allow a person to create patterns that show what lifestyle changes need to be made, when medications are being adhered to, and what healthcare providers need to do to modify plans if necessary. 

Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases: Control of blood pressure is most important in the case of prevention from cardiovascular disease-hearts attacks, strokes, and heart failures. It should help people maintain awareness of their blood pressure state so that they may take positive steps to ensure their blood pressure is in healthy ranges, such as through diets that promote heart health, exercise, and stress management. 

Tailor-Made Treatment Plans: Regular blood pressure monitor gives valid data to healthcare decision-makers to develop personalized patient treatment plans. By regular examination of blood pressure records, it enables the professionals to decide on the proper dosages for medication, to prescribe medications accordingly, and to monitor the effectiveness of various strategies. 

Motivation and Behavioral Change: Regular blood pressure monitoring allows patients to maintain a sense of presence and accountability over their health. Constant conscious observation of blood pressure levels acts as a reminder to engage in healthy living and motivates patients to strictly adhere to treatment and needed lifestyle behavior modifications.
