AARP Smart Picks: Best Blood Pressure Monitors

AARP Smart Picks

Blood Pressure Monitors

Our lab team worked with older adult testers to determine which home devices performed best

BEST OVERALL

A&D Medical Premium Multi User ($54)

 Easy to use. This monitor is easy to put on without assistance, has a well-organized display and is feature-packed for the price. Our home testers found it intuitive to use. “The numbers are large, clear and easy to read,” said Donna, 60. The display also uses color-coding to indicate whether a reading is normal (green), elevated (yellow) or high (red).


BEST FOR DATA TRACKING

Homedics 5-Day Trend-at-a-Glance ($70)

 Straightforward. Our home testers appreciated that this monitor connects to an app using Bluetooth, automatically defines readings (noting whether they are in the normal range or elevated) and stores those readings for reference. It also allows users to share results with their doctor over the internet.


MOST COMPREHENSIVE DATA

Conneqt Pulse ($289)

 Additional monitoring. The Conneqt Pulse costs more than some other blood pressure monitors, but it can track extra metrics related to your cardiovascular health, such as indicators of arterial stiffness. “The readability, navigation and display are comprehensive and simple,” said Ken, a 57-year-old tester. —Taylor Leamey
