Finding an easy to use blood pressure monitor is something many people want. No wires! No tight cuffs! Consistent! Tracks my Data! Is that too much to ask? Today’s discussion of Where can I find an Easy to Use Blood Pressure Monitor for home use? is brought to you by Omron Healthcare.
Where can I Find an Easy to Use Blood Pressure Monitor?
I have a new blood pressure monitor. The Omron Evolv is unlike most medical devices, this one is actually fun to use! It fits all my criteria for what I think a blood pressure monitor should be:
- Portable: I can pack the blood pressure monitor as Walt and I travel. I can take it to my Dad’s to monitor his blood pressure.
- Wireless: Unlike a traditional blood pressure monitor that you see in the doctor’s office, my Omron Evolv doesn’t plug in (it’s battery operated).
- No separate monitors: The unit has a digital readout right on the cuff
- Omron Connect App: The app pairs via Bluetooth to my smart phone (which is really a FUN way to take your blood pressure). The Omron Connect app allows me to store, track and share my heart health data. I love how I can refer to my chart of my blood pressure/pulse readings so I can track my data over time and find trends in my numbers.
- Multiple users: Walt can use the Omron Evolv as well, simply by downloading the Omron Connect app to his own phone and setting up his own account.
- Reminders: Raise your hand if you are good about remembering to monitor your health…I know I forget as soon as I start feeling good. The Omron Connect app sends me reminders so I can remember to take my blood pressure on a regular basis.

Why do I need an easy to use blood pressure monitor?
80% of the 800,000 strokes that occur each year are preventable. High blood pressure causes damage to the lining of blood vessels, which can contribute to narrowed or clogged arteries, causing nearly 87 percent of strokes. One of the most effective ways to prevent a stroke is to monitor your blood pressure and manage it if you’re hypertensive. Why wouldn’t I want to do that? The Omron Evolv Blood pressure monitor makes achieving my goals for better health much easier.

How convenient! This would be nice to have at home!
My dad has recently developed diabetes. He is very old school and can benefit greatly from this article!
I am loving how easy this looks to use! I really like that it’s mobile and looks advanced.
What a great gadget. Thanks for sharing!
Looks much better than the one I used when I was monitoring my BP.
Thank you for the information, I could use one.
It’s so important to be able to take your blood pressure at different times. A person diagnosed with hypertension should have one at home
I have an old clunky blood pressure monitor that I hate dragging out to use, I can’t wait to pick up a new digital one like this!
These are really great tips for finding a blood pressure monitor that can be used at home! I have never had to shop for one myself, but this is fabulous.
This is something my parents need to have at home. I will look into getting them one.
I’ve never had to shop for a blood pressure monitor but it’s good to know where to find one. I would have been lost if I had to just start shopping.
I didn’t realize strokes were preventable. Lots of good info here!
This is such great information. I have high blood pressure and will need this equipment in a few years for sure. Thanks for sharing
Loved reading all about it. We’ve been looking for one for my SIL.
This looks like a great blood pressure monitor. I should monitor mine as it is very low most of the time.
High blood pressure runs in my family. This would be great to have and I like that it is portable.
How amazing is this BP monitor??? I love that it has an app (doesn’t most everything nowadays?) to keep track of my blood pressure.
This looks so easy to use for those that need to monitor their blood pressure. Thank you for sharing
Wow – I love all of the features! It’s pretty high quality and really technologically advanced!
This is definitely a great way to monitor your health and head off a problem before it happens. It is great that multiple users can have the same monitor and use the App.
