Digital healthcare company uHealth has partnered with smart heart health solutions developer Qardio to introduce the QardioArm smart blood pressure monitor to Australia and New Zealand.

QardioArm is a clinically validated and TGA-approved blood pressure monitor that connects wirelessly to an app to allow users to measure, record and share systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate measurements.

QardioArm won a 2014 RedDot product design award for its elegant design, which aims to make a medical device look like a daily object that is simple and convenient to have around at all times for daily measurements.

The Qardio App also works with Apple’s HealthKit, enabling the sharing of blood pressure, heart rate and other health data. Apple’s Health app lets users access all their health and wellness information in one place and keep it under control.
