I need to track my blood pressure and bring that information with me to my cardiology appointments (I have a cardiomyopaty). I was trying to use FitStar but could not find it on Google Play. Instead of clicking on all the apps and trying them out I was wondering if someone could point me to one or two apps to try.

I use the Walgreens website. It isn't the easiest to use nor the best looking, but I have struggled to find a decent alternative:

There are a couple of fancy-pants Bluetooth blood pressure monitors that integrate with it, but you can also manually add data.

 

Withings also has a really nice Bluetooth blood pressure monitor and Android app as well, so if you wanted to invest in a new monitor, that's one to try.

I will check it out but I am in Canada, so they might object. The Microsoft Health thing came up with a "not available in Canada". Telus hosts it here, but they do not integrate with the FitBit.

 

I gather that BP was something that you once could track in the dashboard, but now it is gone. I am seriously thinking of returning the FitBit Charge HR just because I don't like the app.

 

I was hoping that one of the 3rd party apps that integrates with FitBit would work and I could just drop the FitBit app for most things. The idea of having to go to 2 or more apps for what is, in my mind, one data set related to health, is not attractive.
