Meraw Health

I bought this to track my bp and Pulse and although it displays both on the screen when a measurement is taken, it does not export the pulse. This was a key reason I bought this model and no pulse data is an issue.

The wrist cuff is very easy to use. The app was easy to download and paired automatically. So far, so good, excellent even. It does as billed as far as saving my readings. The only (large!) problem is the area titled "Remarks." In actually, there is NO Remarks function. There are four icons: Morning, Motion, After Meal, Sleep. That's it. You can only pick one. You can't add one, modify it or explain. The app needs an actual Remarks or Notes function where I can note that I was under emotional stress because my mother-in-law visited unannounced, or I had food poisoning, or the dog ate my hearing aid, or I'm agonizing over upcoming surgery, or I just ran a 5K and I might die. None of those examples are covered by the four lame icons. I could take a screenshot, add a text box and save it in photos, but that defeats the purpose. PLEASE fix it so we can add our own notes. Otherwise, when the doctor looks at my data and says, "Why's this one so high?" I don't have to say, "Uh . . ."

First, the app includes the manual for the Cedar model, but not the Aspen (not crucial, but very helpful). Also, the "trend" page doesn't make any sense. For example, a light orange dot indicates a low diastolic number. A dark orange square indicates a high diastolic number. One day my diastolic was 78 (normal) and another day it was 88 (high). Both numbers on the chart were indicated by a light orange dot in the middle of a dark orange square. Overall, the trend page is way too imprecise and vague to be useful. The "data" page makes it easy to compare about 5 recent readings in one place without having to view them individually on the device. There is an option to choose ONE of four circumstances after BP has been recorded: 1. Morning 2. Motion 3. After meal 4. Sleep Obviously, there are tons of circumstances that aren't available to choose, like: - At rest - Before medication - After medication - After a big fight It would just be better to have a "notes" section. Having said that, maybe it's just easier overall to keep a written log, because there are countless factors that affect blood pressure and it isn't that much data to write down. I also don't see a feature that calculates averages. On the upside, the app doesn't request personal data (name or email address). The bluetooth feature was responsive and the device data synced to the app right away. The app has a lot of potential but it needs work.
