Does anyone know of a good blood pressure app that works on an Apple Watch? Thanks

Apple Watch is not currently capable of reading BP.

The number ONE thing is that even if an Apple watch was supposed to read your blood pressure, then the results would be very questionable indeed!

If you are at all concerned about your BP, then I suggest you go onto Amazon and do a search for Blood Pressure monitors where you will find loads of them, they are quite cheap and from my experience they are also quite accurate. The one I have fits snugly onto my wrist and pressures up to give a very accurate reading. I have owned it for several years and it has always performed faultlessly.

I think they only read heart rate rather than blood pressure.

Hi

I assume you want an app to display Blood Pressure (BP) data taken with an appropriate device, rather than take it with your watch as other have suggested.

In theory the Withings app will display the data.

support.withings.com/hc/en-...

However, I use their sleep mat and sleep data is not displayed, which I have a support ticket active with them. It does display Activity, Weight and BP collected via other means but no trend data is displayed.

You can download the app and use it without any of their devices as, if allowed, it will collect information from Apple Health. For example my BP device is from a different manufacturer.

I hope this helps.
