I am monitoring, not checking, my blood pressure with the Going For Zero Pledge
Today’s discussion of Zero Heart Attacks, Strokes | Going for Zero Pledge is brought to you by Omron Healthcare.

Enjoying Retirement in Good Health, Going For Zero
Walt and I have been vacationing quite often this winter. We visited the Miami area, went on a cruise, visited relatives in Florida and hope to head to Panama City, Panama soon. While a great deal of fun, visiting all these locations requires extensive walking and long days.
The biggest and most unique “folly” at Vizcaya is a piece of fantasy concrete architecture sitting in the water in front of the mansion called “The Barge”.
Walt and I know how important it is monitor our health through regular physicals, but there are many things we can do at home to stay on top of our health as well. One thing we have done recently is to take Omron’s Going For Zero Pledge.
I will work with Omron on their goal to change the public mindset from “checking” blood pressure to “monitoring”. Omron Healthcare, Inc. is the global category leader in personal heart health and wellness technology, with a heritage of over 40 years. Omron is the #1 doctor and pharmacist recommended home blood pressure monitor brand on the market, and the brand is known for its clinically-validated accuracy.
As you can see from the pledge above, it’s all the things that any healthy adult should be doing, especially retired adults like Walt and me. We already exercise, eat smart, drink in moderation, relax but the one thing we don’t do regularly is monitor our blood pressure.
Omron Healthcare’s company mission is Going for Zero™, the elimination of heart attacks and
strokes. The company has pursued its bold mission by developing new heart health technologies, working in collaboration with physicians, launching a national education campaign, and forming partnerships with groups like the American Heart Association to achieve breakthroughs.
As part of our Going for Zero Pledge, over the next 90 days, Walt and I will be taking and monitoring our blood pressure with the Omron Evolv Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor. I will be bringing the results of our readings and talking to you more about the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring at home and how that can help lead to the elimination of heart attacks and strokes. Watch for three more blog posts that can help you and your family work to eliminate your cardiac events.
Achieving Zero: Omron Evolv Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

I have very low blood pressure and have been advised by my primary care PA to monitor it daily, but I am unable to afford one. This would be fantastic so I don’t have to waste gas driving in to doc office every day.
Every home should have one.
I didn’t realize there were so many options for blood pressure monitoring, so many choices. I took the pledge. I enjoyed exploring this site. 🙂 Thank you.
This monitor looks amazing. I love that I could use it for multiple purposes!
I learned that they have a wrist blood pressure monitor that looks like a watch! It also measures your sleep too! Sounds pretty handy, especially for keeping track of your measurments since it comes with an app 🙂
I learned that the charge on the monitor will last for one week. Which is awesome not to have to charge it daily.
I learned that they want to CHANGE THE PUBLIC MINDSET from “checking” blood pressure to “monitoring”.
I learned the different numbers to evaluate blood pressure. I also learned that the charge lasts a week.
I learned that Checking your blood pressure at home is essential to preventing heart disease and strokes. It helps you live healthy life
I learned ways to help reduce blood pressure!!
I learned that normal blood pressure is less than 120 systolic and less than 80 diastolic.
I learned the same company makes the Avail Wireless, Dual Channel TENS Unit which helps with chronic and acute pain
i learned that it lasts a week on one charge. this is important… make it as easy as possible!
I learned that the monitor can even monitor you sleep which is an awesome tool.
It last a week on one charge. Perfect for those of us who travel!
I like their Project 2.0 Wristlet Monitor – that would be a great thing to have
An ultra-compact and stylish medical device that measures blood pressure with clinical accuracy at the push of a button.
Measures physical activity and sleep
Syncs with the Omron app to track and share vital data about your blood pressure
Lasts one week on a charge
In development. Final specs and pricing will be released once FDA Clearance is received.
i also know im getting older,and this may come in handy
I love that these are available at normal retailers like Walmart, target and amazon! I am on the opposite side of the spectrum, as I have a very slow heart rate which has to be monitored all the time- so this looks great!
they have a mobile EKG machine that is under $100 and it would be cool to have for my dad who has heart issues. i am glad i found that site.
The Project Zero 2.0 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor, lasts up to one week on a charge. This is so convenient. Most devices have to be charged daily.
