First, determine the period and frequency with your doctor, then complete the series in full, including quiet days and gaps.
Preparation
Home measurement is only useful if the procedure is clear: a few minutes of rest, a suitable cuff, support for the back and arms, no talking while the tonometer is working.
The graph is useful when the series is obtained on a predetermined schedule and does not consist only of measurements at the time of ill health. First practical guide for this task: record the start and end dates of the observation.
Step-by-step checklist
- 01
Record the start and end dates of the observation.
- 02
Take measurements within designated time windows.
- 03
Save values immediately and mark omissions honestly.
- 04
Finally, formulate a question that the graph should clarify.
What most often distorts observation?
- Add additional checks only after a high number.
- Remove values as invalid for no reason.
- Prolong intensive monitoring due to anxiety.
How does this relate to Vesometr
Vesometr graphs show a series over different periods, but the medical interpretation is left to the user and the doctor.
Blood pressure and pulse
Measurements, wellbeing and the circumstances of each reading in one entry.
A calm review of the records
What is important for a doctor is not a collection of individual high or low values, but a series of records with date, time, pulse, well-being and circumstances of measurement.
For a final review, go back to the last step: finally, formulate a question that the graph should clarify. Compare it to the original target and specifically note exceptions that cannot be explained by the available records.
Vesometr does not assess the risk of indications and does not prescribe treatment. If there is a sharp deterioration in health, chest pain, severe shortness of breath, speech impairment, weakness in a limb or other acute symptom, urgent medical attention is needed, and not an entry in the application.
Full medical disclaimerBrief conclusion
The graph is useful when the series is obtained on a predetermined schedule and does not consist only of measurements at the time of ill health. Working minimum to continue: record the start and end dates of the observation. After this, use the remaining points as a testable plan and keep only actual observations.
