Blood Pressure Tracker - Log, Chart, and Share Blood Pressure Records With Your Doctor. Available for Desktop PC, Pocket PC, BlackBerry, Palm, and Smartphone. FREE Desktop PC version.

Measuring your blood pressure can help you and your doctor prevent or control hypertension and its many complications. Blood pressure readings in the doctor's office may be higher than at other times. The use of home blood pressure monitors can more accurately measure one's overall, or average, blood pressure level.

We suggest that persons over age of 40 begin keeping a daily log of their blood pressure readings. Measuring your own pressure is neither expensive nor difficult. It's a good idea to take readings at different times of day, in case there is a difference between morning and evening values. The Blood Pressure Tracker simplifies blood pressure and heart rate data logging. The software automatically saves systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and time of measurement. In addition to being a convenient data logger the software is also a valuable tool for blood pressure longitudinal trends analysis. This longitudinal analysis may help you and your doctor decide on the best medicine and help adjust daily drug dosage.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are good blood pressure values?
Systolic blood pressure below 120 and diastolic blood pressure below 80 are generally considered nor-mal. Systolic blood pressure between 120 and 140 and diastolic blood pressure between 80 and 90 are generally considered prehypertensive. Systolic blood pressure above 140 and diastolic blood pressure above 90 are generally considered high.

2. When should I measure my blood pressure?
Measure your blood pressure when you are completely relaxed. You should not argue, eat, smoke, or exercise for at least 30 minutes before taking your blood pressure.

Blood pressure readings vary throughout the day. Blood pressure is usually highest in the morning, is lower in the evening, and is lowest during the night when your are asleep.

3. What is the best position to measure blood pressure?
Measure your blood pressure while you are seated in a comfortable, relaxed position. Take a deep breath when cuff inflates, then breath out slowly when the cuff deflates.

4. How can I reduce my blood pressure?
High blood pressure is often a response of your body to stress. Reduction of stress will keep the blood pressure down. A number of techniques are available for stress reduction. Please consider increasing duration of exercise, yoga, acupressure exercise, and meditation. Many of these are available for your mobile device and can be taken any place you can find privacy. Combination of all these techniques usually works the best.

5. Can I use meditation and acupressure in addition to my medications?
Yes. Meditation, acupressure, exercise, and yoga are great supplements to your medications. They can help you reduce the medication dose and, sometimes, even eliminate the medication all together.

6. Is it possible to keep the readings of 2 different people on the same device?
Yes. It is possible.
You will need to install 2 versions of the software into 2 different folders.
1. Install the 1st software into the default location.
2. Rename the shortcut to that software. For example, change it to 'MyWifeBP'.
3. Install the 2nd software into a different location.
4. Rename the shortcut to that software. For example, change it to 'MyOwnBP'.

7. How to transfer data between PC and Pocket PC?
There is no automatic synchronization. However, you can transfer data between the devices via CSV file.

1. Save data into CSV file on mobile device.
2. Transfer the CSV file to Desktop PC.
3. Open the CSV file with the Blood Pressure Tracker software on Desktop PC.

Reviews

Very Good product!
A reviewer from Swindon, UK
"This bit of software is simplicity itself to update and review. I need to watch my BP closely and like the other reviewers have found this to be the most convenient means of doing this and keeping an eye on trends. Easy to back up upload to PC and very few key/stylus strokes needed. An excellent product and probably a lifesaver."

A First Class Data Collection Package for Hypertensives!
A reviewer from Stourbridge, UK
"BP Tracker for Pocket PC is and excellent program for any hypertensive like me who needs to keep an eye on their blood pressure and record the data over a period of time. I have used this program for 4 months with great ease. The latest version 4.3.3 fixes all the issues mentioned by other reviewers with addition of the ability to add notes in free text to the .csv file and a variable data point size to display in the graph making it much easier to read when a large amount of data is displayed. The introduction of BP Tracker for PC is an excellent addition, whereas the Pocket PC version is useful to collect the data especially for anyone who travels, the desktop version can import the .csv file directly from ?My Pocket PC Documents? via ?ActiveSync? and display them in graphical, calendar and data file format on screen. From this screen it is possible to directly print a graph for anything from 7 days to 10 years with variable data point sizes to suit ones own taste, which very useful to take to ones own doctor for discussion and much easier than converting .csv data into an Excel graph. Data can be printed as a list of records in a text file directly from the program. Historic data can also be imported as a .csv file and displayed or printed in the same manner. The service from Sound Tells Support is First Class, having sent an email with my comments about these two programs I received a reply within a few hours and after some further short dialog an updated version taking the comments into account was released a few days later.""

Excellent program!
Gerald Tan from Adelaide, South Australia
"This is an excellent program for those who want to keep a record of their BP over time. Data entry from drop-down lists is easy, and historical data can be viewed, edited and saved in a text file. Data can also be viewed in graphical form, and the limitations of the small PDA screen is overcome by allowing the user to view data for different spans of time (a week, a month, a year). Historical data can also be read in from a CSV file, and can be saved (in case a backup is needed) in a CSV file. A calendar view shows BP readings for each day of the month, and the user has the option of displaying actual of average readings (if more than one reading is taken a day). BP Tracker has a number of features not found in other BP tracking programs. For example, some BP tracker programs do not allow the user to read in historical data (implicitly assuming that those who purchase a BP tracking program are recording their BP for the first time!), although they often do allow saving data in CSV format. Viewing data in graphical form (line or bar chart) is cumbersome in some BP tracker programs as different data spans each a week long need to be specified (by using date pickers) in order to overcome the limitation of the small screen. Still others are excruciatingly slow, especially when one has to edit data that has been previously entered. Having tried many BP trackers, I think that SoundTells' BP Tracker is, on balance, better than all the others. It has two minor short-comings: (a) it does not have a 'Note' feature, which is often useful when one wants to record changes in medication on certain dates, and (b) the dots of the graph are fixed at too big a size. While this may not matter when one is displaying, say, data for one week, it makes the graph difficult to read when one is displaying a large amount of data. It would be better if the size of the dots in the graph are programmed to vary inversely with the amount of data being graphed. These are, however, minor annoyances, which I am sure, will be fixed in the next version of what is an excellent program."

Logging data into Pocket PC is much cleaner!
John Cooper from Vera Beach, Florida
"I am a retired military officer. Per doctor?s order I was measuring my blood pressure daily. I still have a log of my old blood pressures hanging on the fridge door. Let me tell you - logging data into Pocket PC is much cleaner. I was also able to print down the log on my desktop. To do that I have saved blood pressure data into the text file, copied the file to the desktop, and opened it with Microsoft Word."
