blood pressure monitor

Arterial force reader

A blood pressure monitor is a device that measures the force of blood against artery walls, typically displaying two numbers: systolic (during heartbeat) and diastolic (between beats).

Home monitors usually wrap around the upper arm or wrist and inflate automatically: The doctor suggested I get a blood pressure monitor to track my readings at home.
