YourPressure

This app helps you to use your home blood pressure monitor to get an accurate picture of your blood pressure. It does it by helping you to create a blood pressure diary that you can then discuss with your healthcare provider.

By measuring your blood pressure at home, and following the simple step-by step instructions and timings in the app, you'll reduce the risk of getting unrepresentative high readings.

This means you'll have less chance of needing un-necessary treatment. At the same time, if you follow the instructions and your average is still high, then you can be more confident that it's a true reflection of your blood pressure.

Designed by two UK GPs, this app takes you through the process of producing a home blood pressure diary, in line with NICE guidelines. At the end of a week it produces a PDF document containing your readings and your adjusted average blood pressure that you can email either to yourself or to your doctor's surgery.

This can then help you in discussion with your doctor or nurse, and save time going to the doctor or nurse's clinic.
