Kardia advice (blood pressure)

[PoorlyWifeHeart]

Hi, from other posts I know many of you have Kardias... Do any of you use it to record your blood pressure too (as my wife does)?

Since the latest app update she's now very frustrated that when viewing the BP history you get a nice graph that takes up 95% of the phone's display (on a Galaxy S10e) but only a tiny area where you can scroll the BP reading values and just about see one if you're lucky. Previously she could see a nice large list of historic readings. Anyone found a way to get back to this view - i.e. hide the graph part?

How does your wife do that ? My 6L Kardia only gives me an ECG. Am I missing out on something.

Sorry, this is additional functionality. Kardia's app let's you either sync with a BP device like her Omron wrist cuff (which we've never got to work) or add readings manually in to the Kardia app (which is what she's done for a long time now).

It is just the viewing of these readings she's having a new issue with

Thanks ... too much grief for me - I'll stay with my bog standard cuff device.

I don't see an option in the Kardia app to provide the list you're seeking, other than scrolling through the entries.I use my Omron BPM with both the Omron and Kardia apps I.e. my BP readings are automatically transmitted from my BPM to both.

The Omron app has a list of my readings like you are seeking so you might want to see if you can get your BPM to link to that.

If that works it will provide a list going forward (without additional effort), even if you are still forced to manually input to Kardia app

Yes, my wife gets them automatically in the Omron app too but she also manually records in Kardia too (she likes to keep all in one app). She assures me Kardia had a list similar to Omron prior to the latest Kardia app update buy now it is virtually unusable due to the size if the graph. Oh well, sounds like nobody else found a workaround. Thanks for taking the time to reply anyway.

I have this function- the update is a bit clunky although the graph is very useful for your cardiologist or GP because it gives you and at-a-glance view of trends. I'll go and check now to see how I navigate in an out.

OK. You're right! The larger part of the screen gives you a trend chart with lots of little dots. And the daily readings are a bit tiny- you can only see one at a time. I think your wife's best bet is to click on the 'generate a report' feature. She can request a specific period by putting in start and close dates and the App then makes a pdf. The daily readings are pretty much the last thing on the PDF. You can email the PDF to yourself (just don't bother with the security thing if you're sending it in house) and it's easier to read that way.

Hi Ennasti, I wonder if you're on iOS? On Android my wife's screen looks like this - the bit at the bottom is the only scrollable part. Assume this is what Singwell sees too?

Kardia App BP Screen

Mine looks like ennasti's and I have samsung S22ultra

[PoorlyWifeHeart]

Thanks, Jay. I guess it is just down to screen size then. They are probably only testing-on/designing-for newer larger phones, whereas the older S10e has a smaller display.

My screen looks like your wife's phone & I have a Moto G fast which is an older phone by today's standards. Without scrolling the top half is the graph you showed and I can see two BP readings. Looks like you might have to send a summary to yourself or share it via pdf. I don't pay for Kardia service so you have to select CSV file & it will come across in plain text but perfectly readable.
