Use your iPhone as a blood pressure monitor

Withings has launched a blood pressure monitor that works with a software app downloadable to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

In the words of the press release:

“With the Withings Blood Pressure monitor, measuring and understanding your blood pressure couldn't be easier. All data is recorded and saved to the user's secure online space for easy measurement access and retrieval through their iPhone, iPad or other screen connected to a user-friendly interface.”

Currently, the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor is available for 129 Euros which is quite a lot more expensive that high quality monitors already available on the market.  It is not clear whether the monitor has been clinically validated against existing standards.
