Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors – Convenient Monitoring on Your Wrist
There are many reasons to measure your blood pressure — and several methods available to do so. Indirect measurement methods are the most common and are used in both clinical and home settings. While readings may vary slightly depending on whether you use a wrist monitor, an upper arm device, or a traditional sphygmomanometer, these differences are usually negligible in terms of reliability. What matters far more is following the correct procedure when taking a measurement — especially for regular monitoring.
In the European Union, wrist blood pressure monitors (and all other types) display values in mmHg (millimeters of mercury) — the standard and legally defined unit.
Comfortable and Portable Monitoring
Wrist blood pressure monitors by medisana are compact, durable, and user-friendly. Their small size makes them ideal for travel or everyday use at the office — they easily fit into any bag and are always ready when you need them. Regardless of the device type, you should always follow basic measurement guidelines. For example, blood pressure readings should be taken while seated and only after a short resting period. Avoid speaking, distractions, and stimuli such as the urge to urinate, cold temperatures, or caffeine consumption before and during the reading.
The cuff should be snugly fitted to your wrist.
For accurate results, it's essential to hold your wrist at heart level during measurement. While this position is automatically ensured with upper arm monitors, extra attention is needed with wrist devices. When done correctly, wrist monitors provide reliable readings in just a few seconds — including your heart rate.
Modern medisana wrist blood pressure monitors also feature a traffic light color scale, allowing for quick interpretation of results based on the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, the device will notify you accordingly.
Smart Features for Practical Use
Large, high-contrast LED displays are standard in our wrist blood pressure monitors. Many models also support multiple user profiles, so the device can be shared while keeping individual readings separate. This is especially useful when storing and analyzing data digitally.
With models like the BW 300 connect, you can transfer your readings to the free VitaDock+ app (available for iOS and Android), allowing you to track your health on your smartphone anytime, anywhere — with minimal effort.
For those who prioritize speed, we offer models with Inflating Technology, which measure even faster than traditional devices.
At medisana, you’ll find a wide range of blood pressure monitors to suit every need and lifestyle — always in excellent quality. Especially with frequent use, long-lasting and dependable devices are essential. That’s why we offer a three-year warranty on all our devices — no questions asked.
