welcome back to wes knows tech news and reviews at west knows we truly enjoy tech gadgets health
wearables and today we'll be presenting and reviewing the bp trace blood pressure monitor we
are excited because blood pressure and heart rate are the backbones of health monitoring in general
with multiple international patents and the use of next-gen technology this truly wearable design
utilizes a micro aircuff that allows its core algorithm to read your blood pressure both easily
and accurately and 24-hour dynamic tracking is available to efficiently manage your health
and yes the data accuracy of bp trace has been approved by both fda and ce in 2018 essentially
the bp trace measures your blood pressure just like the traditional upper arm medical blood
pressure monitor it provides the same level of accuracy but does it with minimalistic style
by sitting comfortably on your wrist what that means is that it offers tremendous opportunities
for remote monitoring of your vital signs if you are new to knows tech news and reviews we talk
about the latest tech news we do brutally honest reviews and share hacks and tricks along the way
vp trace is capable of using an inflatable cuff within the watch strap to take an accurate blood
pressure reading just like your regular wrist or upper arm oscillometric machine you're used
to underneath the strap is a micro cuff that inflates and is used to measure systolic and
diastolic pressure via the oscillometric method essentially it's the same technique used at your
doctors where the cuff is trapped and inflated on your arm except that it's now done right off your
wrist forget the fumbling with the massive cuff with getting ready to actually take a reading
make yourself comfortable pull it out put it on your upper arm or on your wrist to use those
velcro straps no you don't have to do that any longer and the best thing about the bp trace is
that you can actually monitor your blood pressure and pulse rate not just during the day you can
actually schedule automatic runs and you can have your readings being taken while you're at rest
or basically when you're sleeping you see bp trace is connected via bluetooth to the king health
app on your smartphone here you can schedule for readings to be taken automatically during
any time of the day and night the bp monitor uploads all your readings all your measurements
to a cloud server that's connected via the app in your smartphone and the best thing about the king
health app is that there's no difference if you're going to be installing it on an ios device or an
android device so if you have an iphone no issue if you have an android phone like samsung also
no issue there's a lot to get through with this particular watch so what we're going to do we're
going to kick off with the design and the general aesthetics of this watch and then we're going to
get into the features and functions of it we'll explain how to wear the watch how to get the most
accurate readings then we'll show you how to set up and use the king health app which syncs all
your readings as well as plus them on easy to read charts dimensions of the watch are 47 by 41 by
15 millimeters the length of the watch face from lug to lug is 54 millimeters the watch weighs
just 65 grams but if that seems a bit heavier than the common smart watch that's because of the micro
cuff that inflates and is used to measure systolic and diastolic pressure and it's found underneath
the four leather strap in regards to the strap it is rather wide at 28 millimeters but that is
mostly due to the micro cuff on the underside of the strap and it literally covers that micro cuff
the circumference of the strap is limited to 13 and a half to 21 and a half centimeters so that
does get you from about five and a half inches all the way to eight inches and that should really
cover pretty much any resize the watch display is not touch activated rather the navigation
and operation of the watch are accomplished with the two buttons on the right of the watch case
the top right is the start stop button the bottom one is the memory button the watch does show you
your date and time but when you actually run a reading there are three values that you're
presented with systolic and diastolic pressure and the pulse rate aka heart rate at the bottom some
care does have to be applied when you actually place the watch on your wrist just to make sure
that you're getting the most accurate reading so you should really refer to this chart i'm going
to show you right now you should determine the whole number by which you should wrap your wrist
using an incorrect whole number may result in an error message on your screen also if
the strap is loose or too tight or if you're in motion the watch will give you an error message
so it is preferable that you're taking the reading when sitting comfortably legs uncrossed back and
arm supported but most importantly try and keep the monitor at the same level as your
heart and that is exactly what the watch will be asking you just before you run the measurement
with the bp trace monitor you've got two methods of doing a measurement the first method is easy
it's the spot or on demand method you literally have the watch on your wrist
like so you press the start button it starts inflating the micro cuff and you get the reading
at that point in time the second method is by using the scheduling function that is available to
you by the king health app we'll show you how to specifically set that up in the app slightly later
but the principle there is that you can schedule your readings to be taken at any time during the
day and with particular intervals say every 30 minutes or every 60 minutes by tapping the start
button the cuff will begin to inflate by pressing the start button again the measurement can be
stopped when the measurement is complete the cuff deflates automatically in fact the full process of
inflating the cuff and deflating the cuff as well as giving you the readings can be achieved within
one minute you'll be happy to know that the bp trace monitor is charged by a magnetic
pin charging from nil to full will take you approximately two hours and the full charge
will last you two full days with spot as well as automatic measurements taking place so now let's
take a look at the app let me show you how to set it up and let me show you how to effectively use
the app in regards to the king health app so this is the name of the smart app that comes along with
the bp trace so you can actually download it for both ios and android devices i have used my iphone
12 to download the app make sure that you do get the latest version on the app there are literally
three screens now the first screen that you're going to be seeing is the measurement screen this
one is self-explanatory tap on the button at the bottom of the screen and an automatic spot reading
will take place so the watch will actually read the signal coming from your app via bluetooth and
it will start taking a reading from your wrist now if we go to the second screen this is your blood
pressure trend analysis so it's made up of three different screens now the first one is actually
a history or the archive of all your blood pressure readings across well the time that you've
actually been using this particular bp trace wearable so you will see that you do have your
blood pressure reading as well as your pulse rate on the right hand side you can actually scroll
through the screen by scrolling left you will get to a plot of your blood pressure as well as your
heart rate the last screen is your my screen or your settings screen so this is the screen where
you can actually do some customization to the schedule of your bp trace running while you're
asleep when you retrest or anytime during the day so let's have a look at what the settings page can
do for you so if you click into my device you will see the wearable that's actually connected
to your smartphone by clicking on bp data synchronization you're basically syncing all
the values from your watch to the app deleting the history data is basically deleting everything from
your trend screen so the screen that we saw just before the my screen now if you go into the timing
measurements this is where we can actually schedule special runs or continuous runs of the bp
trace readings this is actually quite interesting you've got some three set periods you can amend
those or you can add new ones when you do add new ones you can actually schedule particular runs so
do you want the reading to be taken every half an hour or every 60 minutes you've got quite a
lot of optionality and customization available to you when you're using the bb trace monitor i think
what the bp trace brings to us is revolutionary it's new it's very specific click a button and off
you go your blood pressure is tracked it's measured and you're always in control and
being in control is quite important these days thank you for watching the review of the bp trace
