"Other connected medical devices on the market use the smartphone as a glorified LCD display. Our purpose is to unleash the power of mobile, connected health by introducing exceptional designs and revolutionary features that empower consumers, patients and physicians," said Rosario Iannella, Qardio's CTO.

In September 2014, QardioArm was the first medical device supporting Apple's Health available on the App Store. Today, Places adds a new interesting, engaging and useful dimension to help QardioArm users keep their blood pressure in check, furthering Qardio's leveraging of the latest mobile technology to transform heart health.

The Importance of Places

Everyone's blood pressure varies during the day: it tends to be highest in the morning and lowest in the evening, and may change depending on activity, or due to anxiety or stress. With modern, dynamic lifestyles these daily changes can occur more often. Places can help QardioArm users, together with their physicians, to keep track of their blood pressure measurements not only at different times, but also in different locations, in a way that may be more effective for busy people who want to understand their heart health better and take control.

Privacy

Qardio has the highest respect for user privacy, so each user can only see his/her own location data. Nobody else (other than the user himself/herself) can have access to his/her own location data.

Availability

QardioArm works with iOS and Android. Places is available on the Qardio App for iOS only and works with iOS 7.0 or later. The Qardio App is available for download now here.
