Blood pressure is often called the “silent indicator of health,” quietly reflecting the performance of your entire cardiovascular system. Knowing your numbers—the systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number)—is the first line of defense against serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.
While the ideal reading hovers around 120/80 mmHg, variations signal critical health trends:
- Elevated: 120-129 systolic and less than 80 diastolic.
- Hypertension (High): 130/80 mmHg or higher.
- Hypotension (Low): Below 90/60 mmHg.
Regular and accurate monitoring is essential—but traditional cuff-based methods can be inconvenient and inconsistent. What if you could check your blood pressure frequently, accurately, and without any physical device?
Introducing the power of MyDigiRecords integrated with the cutting-edge SmartVitals module, which revolutionises blood pressure tracking using a simple facial scan.
The Problem with Traditional Blood Pressure Monitoring
Traditional blood pressure monitoring often faces hurdles:
- Inconsistent Tracking: Most people only check their pressure during a routine doctor’s visit, missing daily fluctuations or spikes caused by “white-coat syndrome.”
- Inconvenience: Using a cuff at home can be disruptive and requires a specific device.
- Data Fragmentation: Home readings often get scribbled on paper, making it hard for your doctor to see a clear, long-term trend.
This lack of continuous, accessible data can delay interventions and allow “silent” hypertension to go unnoticed until complications arise.
Introducing SmartVitals: Blood Pressure by Face Scan
The SmartVitals module in MyDigiRecords uses advanced remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) to measure your blood pressure with a simple facial scan.
How it works:
By simply using your smartphone or tablet camera to scan your face for a brief period, the SmartVitals system analyses subtle, nearly invisible changes in the colour of your skin caused by blood flow variations. These changes are converted into precise, personalized measurements of your blood pressure and other vital signs.
This innovation brings several key benefits to managing your cardiovascular health:
- Zero Contact, Maximum Ease: No need for cumbersome cuffs or devices. You can take a reading anywhere, anytime, in seconds.
- Frequent, Consistent Data: The ease of the face scan encourages you to check your pressure more often, providing a richer, more accurate data set for your doctor.
- Real-World Context: Get readings in your natural, unstressed environment, eliminating the inaccuracies often caused by anxiety during clinic visits.
MyDigiRecords: The Digital Hub for Your Heart Health
The true power emerges when the convenient data from SmartVitals is housed within your MyDigiRecords health profile. MyDigiRecords acts as the centralised, secure digital vault for all your health information.
1. Visualising Trends, Not Just Numbers
A single high reading might be an anomaly, but a sustained upward trend is a warning sign.
- How MyDigiRecords Helps: All your SmartVitals readings are automatically logged and charted. Your physician can quickly identify concerning patterns—such as consistently elevated morning readings or drops into hypotension—allowing them to adjust your medication or lifestyle recommendations proactively.
2. Integrating All Cardiovascular Data
Blood pressure is only one piece of the puzzle. Heart health requires tracking lipid panels, ECGs, medication effects, and lifestyle changes.
- How MyDigiRecords Helps: Store all your diagnostic reports—from Lipid Profiles and Kidney Function Tests to ECG results—alongside your daily blood pressure logs. This holistic view enables your doctor to understand the causes and effects of your blood pressure levels on your overall health.
3. Enhancing Patient-Doctor Communication
In managing chronic hypertension or episodic hypotension, clear communication is essential for effective treatment.
- How MyDigiRecords Helps: When you consult your doctor, you don’t need to bring notebooks of handwritten logs. Your entire, verifiable history of blood pressure and related vital signs is available immediately. This streamlines the consultation, leading to faster, more informed decisions about medication and lifestyle adjustments.
