Accutension Stetho for Android

11 things about Accutension Stetho

1. For every measure, you will have two sets of blood pressure readings, one from the automatic blood pressure monitor and another from Accutension Stetho App.

2. Accutension Stetho App records the cuff pressure showed on the monitor and synchronizes the pressure readings with the sounds from the stethoscope.

3. Accutension Stetho is the first calibrator for home blood pressure monitors.

4. If the difference of these two is bigger than 10mmHg, you might need to talk to your doctors on this because the inaccuracy of your automatic blood pressure monitor could affect the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

5. It records, visualizes and plays back the sounds (Korotkoff sounds) of your blood flow during blood pressure measurement and help you use the sounds to find out blood pressure readings.

6. If the difference of these two sets of values is small (less than 5mmHg), the algorithm of your automatic blood pressure monitor is accurate.

7. When the first Korotkoff sound appears, the cuff pressure is Systolic blood pressure, when the Korotkoff sounds disappear, the cuff pressure is Diastolic blood pressure.

8. You can also email the video with Korotkoff sounds to your doctors or friends to confirm your blood pressure readings.

9. When you take blood pressure with an automatic blood pressure monitor, the display of the monitor shows the cuff pressure in real time.

10. FOR INSTANCE, ACCUTENSION STETHO CANNOT DETECT THE INACCURACY CAUSED BY THE MISFUNCTION OF THE PRESSURE SENSOR OF YOUR ABPM OR INCORRECT CUFF SIZE.

11. Home blood pressure monitors use algorithm to determine blood pressures and its accuracy depends on users and body conditions.
