BPM Core description
Overview
BPM Core is not only a highly accurate smart blood pressure and heart rate
monitor, it is the first connected device that can detect, in the comfort of your
home, certain valvular heart diseases and atrial fibrillation, both a variety of
cardiovascular diseases frequent amongst people suering from high blood
pressure, which can help prevent serious complications from progressing.
BPM Core is our most advanced health device to date, combining medical data
traditionally only available in a clinical setting with a seamless design. Along with
blood pressure and heart rate monitoring, the three-in-one device records ECG,
which is used to identify atrial fibrillation (AFib), a serious form of irregular heart
rhythm that can lead to heart failure, fatigue and shortness of breath and is a
major risk for stroke.
In addition, it provides an integrated digital stethoscope that can provide early
detection of valvular heart disease, characterized by damage to one of the four
heart valves that may require surgical intervention to avoid heart failure. Using
the form factor of a blood pressure monitor, users can check their results in just
90 seconds along with color-coded feedback directly on the device, and they can
view their complete history in the free Health Mate app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
connection. Data can then be easily shared with doctors. BPM Core features a
long battery life of up to 6 months and is rechargeable via micro USB cable.
