It's not always convenient for us to head to the doctors every time we need an accurate blood pressure reading.
Many of us have become more health conscious and are keen to keep in the know with all of our vital statistics.
With a range of different equipment available, it's now easier than ever for us to get this information from the comfort of our own home.
According to information provided by the British Heart Foundation, the most accurate readings are found in upper arm monitors and not wrist or finger devices.
OMRON is one of the top brands out there worth investing in for full health data and smart analytics, but there are also plenty of cheaper alternatives out there including models from Buerer. So If you're looking for the best blood pressure monitor to keep on top of your health at home - keep reading.
