OMRON Healthcare has upgraded its portfolio of BP monitors by converting them into connected devices. This significant upgrade in the portfolio will help users and healthcare practitioners gain seamless, effortless, more real-time and accurate control over hypertension management.
The devices, now connected, allow the blood pressure data transfer effortlessly through OMRON’s application called ‘OMRON connect’– India’s one-of-its-kind mobile app in the telehealth segment for BP – with the help of inbuilt Bluetooth technology in the devices facilitating real-time and convenient tracking both for the users as well as physicians.
“Remote patient monitoring relies on connected devices to bridge the distance between a doctor and a patient. The upgrade by OMRON is a big leap in the right direction to achieve our Going for Zero vision that aims to help prevent health event recurrence in the cardiovascular health space. It will redefine the role of a blood pressure monitor and the way we manage hypertension by giving consumers more power in managing their blood pressure, by providing physicians more insights to evolve treatment, and by widening the scope of personalised treatment,” said Kotaro Suzuki, MD, OMRON Healthcare India.
The app makes it easy to record, view and wirelessly sync a user’s blood pressure data and provides an easy-to-use dashboard for viewing recent measurements, tracking progress, and sending medication reminders. The data can also be easily exported and shared across any medium (email, WhatsApp) and format (Excel, PDF, etc.). making it possible to have real-time supervision with physicians. Data from OMRON-connected devices can be shared with other Health Apps too.
OMRON has also introduced the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology feature which allows to capture and record of BP readings of non-connected OMRON devices and transfers them to a phone.
A unique feature BP Diary has also been included in the app which gives an automated and easy way to keep a record and advisory for a person’s BP readings and management in accordance with his lifestyle along with monitoring & medication reminders.
All the BP monitors offered by OMRON Healthcare are clinically validated for accuracy and meet the highest international standards of precision and reliability. They also use patented Intellisense technology and IntelliWrap 360° accuracy cuff to ensure precise measurement in the home environment.
