Testing the Bewell MyTensio BW-BW1 smart health connected blood pressure monitoring

Bewell currently offers two models of blood pressure monitors, a cuff model and a wrist. The BW-BW1 blood pressure monitoring is the version suitable for taking measurements by the wrist. Here are the results of our pharmacist's Review.

Presentation

The product is presented in a protective plastic case for transport and storage. There is also a USB charging cable, a user manual and a quick start guide for those in a hurry.

The design is sleek, a single on-off button on the side of the product, a place to connect the charging cable on the bottom, and a control screen.

Just plug the cable into the device and connect it via USB to a computer or a simple USB charger. The colored measurement gauge will fill up on the device screen. Filling will stop at the end of loading.

Once recognized in your smartphone, select the blood pressure monitoring, the blue light becomes stable, the connection is established.

The blood pressure monitoring will inflate gradually and the measurement will take between 15s and 30s. Once completed, the measurement is repeated a total of 3 times to obtain the average of the results.

The Bewell Connect app is fairly easy to use. It allows you to follow the evolution of blood pressure over a given period, as well as the export of data by email in Pdf format, which can then be useful for your doctor.

it is also possible to manually enter the data and have a summary of all of its data in tabular form (also including weight, sleep, temperature, blood sugar, pulse oximeter measurements, etc.).

Results

The strong points

• Light and space-saving

• Easy to use

• Average of the 3 measurements more reliable than a single

• Device data screen

• Quite easy to use application

• Rechargeable battery

The weak spots

• Autonomy

• The application could be enriched with more data sharing options

Pharmacist's opinion

The Bewell MyTensio BW-BW1 smart health connected wrist blood pressure monitoring is a good blood pressure monitoring for regular blood pressure monitoring, and comes with a fairly easy to access application.

The fact remains that the measurements taken on the wrist are less precise than that of the arm. As part of follow-up for more sensitive patients, we will therefore recommend the MyTensio BW-BA1 cuff model, which also benefits from the Bewell Connect application.
