SmartBP® is a blood pressure app that enables you to log, monitor, evaluate, and share BP reports using iOS devices and Apple Watch. In addition, SmartBP connects with Apple Health.

For those with prehypertension or hypertension, SmartBP can assist in monitoring progress, identifying trends, and managing all your blood pressure and heart measurements, ultimately aiming to enhance your overall heart health and blood pressure.

Works great; ideas for improving

I love this app. I just purchased the upgrade so i could track my wife’s data as well. A couple of things:1.would like to be able to easily transfer data from one user to another as i forgot to go back to my user area and instead entered my data for several measurements into my wife’s data.2.would prefer the weight data to remain the same once entered so i would not have to go back to the pinwheel each time to enter progressive data. Weight does not vary but by small amounts if at all so keeping it at the previous measurement until i enter the new data would also keep the charts more accurate if i do not weigh every day.3.would like to see some of the tags on the main screen for my user data or maybe be able to show data for all users with tags delineating whose data is whose as comparison without having to use the filters.Overall i like this user friendly functionality. Terrific job !!!

Thanks for the great feedback! Highly appreciate it!1 and 3 noted. We will plan these features in a future release. In the interim, A quick way of updating your wife’s data would be to export a CSV file, copy it into your folder and and importing this file into the desired profile. If you have any questions on how to do this, please send me a message on support@evolvemedsys.comFor 2, you can do this by setting your weight in the profile screen. Then it will stay in this weight and you can change it whenever you need to. Again send me a message if you have any questions.Again Thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼

I tried it, and then deleted it. The letters and numbers are minuscule and impossible for me to see without a magnifying glass. Looking at that big white screen full of blank space, I wonder why they didn’t use the space more intelligently. I am a senior citizen with new glasses last month, but I can’t comfortably read anything on the screen in this app without magnification or massive eyestrain. If the developers intended to make this app only for younger folks with 20/20 vision, fine,…but don’t write off all of the seniors and people with vision challenges who suffer with blood pressure and/or heart rate issues. I’m going back to my iPad Notes app where I can set the text size to a comfortable level, and simply input the readings on the keyboard. I use symbols to allow my doctor to quickly see where the HR was too low (🤍), the systolic or systolic was too low. or both were too low (🔻🔻). I have different symbols for hypertension, and this method has worked well for me. If you upgrade to a variable typeface, I may try again, as the graphing ability is a convenient feature. Even that was so small and faint , so I struggled to see it. Perhaps the developer should hire a vision challenged programmer to point out the sad inadequacies in this app and help to solve them.

Update Apr 13th: Good news. We have made the fonts bigger. Hope this works for you. Please let us know if you have any questions. You should be able to upgrade to version 8.2.1 anytime now on the App Store. Also, would appreciate a response or acknowledgement on email as requested earlier. Update Apr 11th: We have an update planned this week that will increase the font size and hope you will be satisfied with the outcome. Also, as requested earlier, please email us directly as it is hard to troubleshoot here.Update Apr 3, 2023:Can you send us a screenshot of what specific areas are you having difficulty with and we would be more than happy to fix it for you. Our email - support@evolvemedsys.comAlso, were you able to resolve the issue of limit classification selection based on your previous message? If you are genuinely interested in resolving these issues, please directly email us and we will get them fixed. It’s very hard for us to narrow down your concerns here.The US default limit classification is according the 2017 AHA/ACC guidelines. But the good news is that we also have a custom limit classification that includes a “low” category. You can set this in the “limit classification” within the more section of the app. Make sure to consult your doctor to review the current 2017 ACC/AHA classification before changing to the custom. If you need help finding it or more info on the guidelines, please let us know - support@evolvemedsys.com

Great tagging feature!!

It's amazing to me how few BP apps include the ability to track factors that might be contributing to BP problems! The flexibility of the tagging features in this app allows you to tag & track - then graph- whatever you want: stress levels, salty diet, major public events (I noticed my BP spike for days after Las Vegas shooting), specific medications or supplements, caffeine intake, etc. It has helped me learn that for me, salt seems almost irrelevant and stress is about 80% of the problem. I'm now tracking Toprol closely as I think I might be having an uncommon but not unheard of paradoxical reaction, with more Toprol raising my BP.DEVELOPER SUGGESTIONS: ... TAGGING: It would be really helpful if tags could be ordered; if not, it would be helpful if list were at least alphabetized. Also would like to be able to ditch some of the tags provided by app......DEFAULTS: Being able to set defaults for measurement site and measurement location would speed input nicely!......BONUS: The ability to have multiple profiles would be nice. Some of us have non-smartphone-using elderly parents to track!Thanks for a great app!!

Very useful app… 1 week in pov with UX request

I’ve been using this app for a week now. First time I’ve ever needed to more aggressively track my BP. This app is very well done and easy to use… quick entry, sync with Apple Health, tagging… all great features of free version. I’m considering upgrading to the premium version but wanted to try it out before committing. The only gripe I have atm is around entering notes. My dr said I should note how I feel before numbers as I have a tendency to get anxious if numbers are elevated. Entering notes here is after I capture the numbers, which is ok but the notes field retains my previous notes requiring me to clear the field each time. If it were like that for the same day, it wouldn’t be as annoying but I think it should clear for a new day or make it easier to clear with one “click”. This may seem minor but when you have to do it each time it gets annoying. I’m hoping an update could make this UX better.

Developer Response
Hello - Absolutely! We are on it. Btw, you can disable the “Remember Tags” toggle button in the more section to reset the notes each time. Downside is that the tags won’t be “remembered” and pre-populated. Your suggestion for a “clear” button is a great one. Will add it in our next release coming out in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, if you have any questions- support@evolvemedsys.com
