Koogeek Blood Pressure Monitor Review

In today’s polluted environment and our 8-hour sedentary jobs are killing our health slowly. The hectic lifestyle and unhealthy junk food can cause multiple types of health-related issues such as a headache, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and others. What do I suggest? Just take out at least 30 minutes from your busy schedule for exercise, eat healthy food and monitor your health intermittently. We have a lot of gadgets like smart wristbands those are meant to monitor our heart rates, footsteps, amount of water we drink, weight and more. But still, they are lag behind somewhere in the front of professional health monitoring systems. So today, we are going to talk about Koogeek Blood Pressure Monitor which is one the professional grade digital + smart blood monitoring system. We are using this device for around 4 weeks and here is our opinion and review on Koogeek Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor.

Step 5: Now you will get two options: Setup Wi-Fi configuration & Link to a device and Link to the device. As we know that the KS-BP2 support the both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, so if you want to configure the both then use the first option otherwise go for the second one (Bluetooth).

Step 6: After selecting the linking option, now go to the Monitor device and hold the power button to switch On and connect the device to the Smart app. It might take few seconds to create a connection.

Step 7: Once you successfully establish a link between the device and app, its time to take the blood and heart rate measurements.

Koogeek Smart Blood pressure Monitor review verdict:

This blood pressure monitor is really very easy to setup and use. Out of the box, I took only 15 minutes to understand and measuring my blood pressure. You can take the help of the instructional manual too. The quality of the device is excellent and enough durable to bear the shocks. To charge the monitor you can use your smartphone charger or connect it to the USB port of Laptop or Desktop. The cuff of the monitor is very flexible and can fit from pretty small arms to very large one. Its apps interface is very simple to understand too and can be operated by anyone without any connectivity issues (at least with our review unit).

The one problem we faced that, if the device is not connected to an app or Wifi then it won’t able to store the result more than few seconds. Also to get the accurate and precise result, we suggest to measure the blood pressure at least two or three times, however, there was no huge difference in the reading in our case. Overall, it is the excellent smart blood pressure monitor at a reasonable price, which is $67.99 (Amazon) or INR 2719 (Tomtom)
