Hello iPhone enthusiast, speaking of useful and new things for our devices, we have this incredible accessory that can take our blood pressure. It has a connector dock for the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and an app that does the job; undoubtedly an advance in terms of medical and useful applications. We could also talk in the future about apps to check glucose levels, among other things.


Well, we can agree that most people might say, "What's the point of this accessory if I don't have any health problems, and I don't need to know my blood pressure... etc., etc., etc."... Well, it turns out that users aren't always young, and not all iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch users are teenagers or young adults as one might think, and not everyone who uses these devices is healthy or free from blood pressure problems.

Much has been speculated about the uselessness of many of the accessories created for our devices, as well as the applications we have, and regarding the medical vision that was held for the accessories and applications that could be created, the outlook was discouraging, as we published yesterday, new advances in medical devices such as the heart monitor are being developed every day, and these accessories were a promise from Apple since 2009 that has not been fully realized.

iHealt is available exclusively online through the company's website and its launch price will be $99.95 USD. The app will be released today on the App Store completely free, and it is an intuitive and easy-to-use accessory that allows you to accurately measure your blood pressure from the comfort of your home.
