Soehnle’s blood pressure gauges are “connected”

On 1st February 2018, Soehnle expanded its range of blood pressure gauges and introduced the Systo Monitor Connect 300 and Connect 400 onto the market. The Bluetooth compatible devices are connected to the Soehnle Connect App, with which personal measurements are collected and analysed. In conjunction with the Connect bathroom scales and fitness trackers, the new blood pressure gauges ensure integrated control of vital signs. Risk factors like excess weight and lack of movement therefore become transparent and can be constantly reviewed. Further information can be found at www.soehnle.de.

The two upper arm devices deliver blood pressure data to the Soehnle Connect App, which then processes these into diagrams. The data are visualised with a time stamp, diastole, systole, the average and pulse values. It is also possible to manually add values like a cluster of data in morning, evening and night-time values. The Connect models offer memory space for two users for up to 60 measurement data and therefore cover long-term control for two months. External users can also take measurements in Guest Mode. This function, along with the motion sensor, which helps to prevent false results, lifts the blood pressure gauges above its competitors. To analyse blood pressure values, the Systo Monitor Connect 300 (RRP: 49.99 euros) and Systo Monitor Connect 400 (RRP: 69.99 euros) models follow the traffic light colour scale from the WHO. This differentiates the measurement results into “optimal”, “normal” and “hypertension”.

For the POS, the devices will be placed on the same shelves with other Connect products like the body analysis scales Shape Sense Connect 200 and the fitness trackers Fit Connect 100, Fit Connect 200 HR and the Fit Connect 300 HR. Supporting PR measures, its own landing page as well as online activities like blogs, newsletters, Facebook and Instagram will accompany the launch of the Connect blood pressure gauges. Medical experts will support customer service especially to allay customer concerns.
