Adding Blood pressure tracking into Connect app

Hi all,

would you also like to see blood pressure tracking options added into Connect app?

I know it is not core of Garmin, but as we already collect data as weight, hydration, I guess adding Blood pressure tracking would not be hard, but would enable users to use only one app, not multiple.

Thnx

This is a fantastic suggestion.

That would be nice. I currently have a separate app for Omron blood pressure monitor and another one for a blood glucose monitor.

Yes!

How? Garmin watches are not built to detect changes in blood pressure. Interpreting systolic/diastolic pressure optically is a very long way from becoming reality.

The watch also doesn't measure your weight and you can put it in...

My apologies. I misread the request to wanting the watch to measure blood pressure. It is possible to add weight via Garmin scale automatically. Hydration comes from the hydration app. Pulse rate from OHR.

As a repository for health data it might well be useful to have it all centrally located in one place. Aren’t there apps out there to do just that? For example - www.healthedeals.com/.../

Is there an attachment for no monitoring?

Somewhat unrelated, has anyone else noticed that Connect has charts for tracking Body Fat Percentage? Yet, I don't believe there is any way to input the data into it, so the chart is perpetually blank. I'd love it if I could use those charts, since I'm still using an excel spreadsheet to do it.
