I looked online for a digital BP checker but the reviews say they're inaccurate..know anything about that??
I'm old school; I use a manual self-taking blood pressure cuff to monitor my BP at home.
I bought my parents an automatic brachial cuff. The units that take a brachial reading (upper arm) are reasonably reliable/accurate. However, the automatic wrist cuffs, (and the patient as well), have to be positioned perfectly every time for accurate results using that method, making it much more sbject to human error.
