Follow the instructions of the tonometer and the doctor’s plan: maintain the same posture, maintain the recommended interval and record the results according to the chosen rule.
What matters
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.
A series of measurements without a pause or in a changing position creates a set of disparate numbers and pushes you to choose a convenient result. First practical guide for this task: determine the number of repetitions in advance.
How to organize observation
- 01
Determine the number of repetitions in advance.
- 02
Do not remove or rearrange the cuff unless necessary.
- 03
Observe the pause specified in the instructions or recommendations.
- 04
Write down any intended values or the agreed upon total.
What most often distorts observation?
- Repeat until the normal number appears.
- Average different conditions without labeling.
- Measure immediately after the emotional reaction to the first result.
How does this relate to Vesometr
In Vesometr, you can save the total and explain the series in a note, keeping the context clear for the doctor.
Blood pressure and pulse
Measurements, wellbeing and the circumstances of each reading in one entry.
A conclusion without rushing
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: write down any intended values or the agreed upon total. 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
A series of measurements without a pause or in a changing position creates a set of disparate numbers and pushes you to choose a convenient result. Working minimum to continue: determine the number of repetitions in advance. After this, use the remaining points as a testable plan and keep only actual observations.
