My BP Lab 2.0 - Apps on Google Play. Most of us have gotten used to our Smartwatches keeping track of our heart rate. Some of us have a $99 Kardia device that does a basic single lead EKG for the detection of arrhythmia. Now, a new app claims to be able to measure Blood Pressure by measuring changes is blood volume by placing a fingertip on the sensor on your phone. Samsung is testing this app using its new Smartwatches which will use similar sensors. If you remember StarTrek and its medical devices from the future, this should all be familiar. The reviews of My BP Lab are mixed; but, I am going to test it. It would be very handy to be able to keep track of my BP on a regular basis without having to strap on a cuff.
