Beurer BC-85 smart health connected blood pressure monitoring Review

For more than 95 years, the German company Beurer GmbH has been the market leader in the health and wellness sector. Their range of blood pressure monitors is recognized for their reliability. We have chosen the best smart health connected blood pressure monitors from their catalog, including the Beurer BC-85 wrist blood pressure monitoring. We tested it with our pharmacist.

Presentation

In the box, you can find a wrist blood pressure monitoring, a plastic case for storage and transport, a quick start guide, a user manual, a blood pressure book, a USB transfer cable and 2 AAA batteries .

The screen is quite large, with large, legible numbers. An On / Off button and two user buttons 1 and 2.

Note that you can also transfer blood pressure measurements from a PC to HealthManager software using the USB cable provided.

Use & Getting started

Download the application

In order to connect the Beurer BC-85 wrist blood pressure monitoring, you must first download the Beurer Smart Health Manager application from the App Store or Google Play depending on the model of your smartphone or tablet. You will find on our applications page all the necessary links.

Once the application is installed, you must then create a profile before you can use it. This blood pressure monitoring can also be used without the application, since it displays the data on its screen and records the last 60 measurements for each of the two profiles.

Taking measurements

Then simply position the blood pressure monitoring around the wrist about 1 cm from the palm of your hand, then turn on the blood pressure monitoring by pressing On / Off. The blood pressure monitoring starts inflation and the measurement takes place during the latter.

Once the measurement is complete, the device displays the results on the screen, as well as the voltage status according to the WHO classification using the colored scale on the screen.

Log in

You must activate the Bluetooth connection on your phone, start the Beurer Smart Health Manager application, then choose the BC-85 blood pressure monitoring from the list for the first connection. The connection is then made automatically at the end of the measurements.

Beurer Smart Health Manager application

The Beurer Smart Health Manager application is very comprehensive but fairly easy to use. It stores data not only for blood pressure, but also for weight, activity, blood sugar and oxygen saturation.

It allows you to export data by email, but also for Apple users to transmit their data to the Apple Health application.

Data can also be managed on the site Beurer Smart Health Manager.

Finally, there is the PC software Beurer Smart Health Manager which allows you to transfer your data to a PC and manage it even more precisely.

• PC software also available

The weak spots

• No connection while taking the measurement

Pharmacist's opinion

The Beurer BC-85 smart health connected Wrist Blood Pressure monitoring is a great product that comes with a great application. In addition, its use is not necessarily linked to the connection to a smartphone, it can operate independently.

The fact remains that the measurements taken on the wrist are less precise than that of the arm because they vary a lot depending on the height of the wrist relative to the heart. As part of follow-up for more sensitive patients, we will therefore recommend the Beurer BM-77 arm model, which also works from the Beurer Smart Health Manager application.
