Frequently Bought Together
Automate your health monitoring and remove the cognitive burden of manual logging with the FirstMed Bluetooth Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this smart device is designed for NDIS participants with memory impairments, executive dysfunction, or fine motor limitations who struggle to record vital signs accurately.
Keeping a log of blood pressure is critical for managing many disability-related conditions, but writing down numbers can be difficult and prone to error. This device solves that problem by using Bluetooth 4.0 technology to automatically sync results to your smartphone (via Apple Health or Google Fit). This creates a permanent, shareable digital record without the user ever lifting a pen. Additionally, the extra-large backlit LCD screen ensures the display is legible even in low light, supporting participants with low vision.
