Video: Consumer Reports Tests Home BP monitors
This news video reports on a clinical evaluation of select Home BP monitors recently completed by Consumer Reports. We were not surprised to see, among their findings, that the wrist monitors evaluated were not as accurate as upper arm monitors. We were encouraged that the video seems to indicate the evaluation was administered by two observers taking auscultatory readings with a stethoscope and mercury column where those results would serve as the basis to compare the automated monitors' results. This is truly the best method for performing clinical evaluations of automated, non-invasive BP monitoring technologies.
