Trying to setup blood pressure on MG Life and app asks to put on blood pressure cuff for baseline reading. Picture shows an upper arm electronic blood pressure device. Why doesnt Whoop say in details or description of MG that you will need one of these units to use the blood pressure feature?
After experimenting and going through steps app asks for 3 readings from your blood pressure device. I guess you can have someone take your blood pressure and record the readings or use any other type of blood pressure device. It does not have to be necessarily the upper arm device shown in app demonstration.
You don’t need to own a blood pressure cuff to complete this step. You can get your baseline blood pressure reading in a few easy ways:
Visit your local pharmacy – many offer free blood pressure checks.
Ask a friend or family member to borrow their blood pressure cuff.
Visit your doctor or clinic for a quick reading.
Or, if you’d prefer to have one on hand, there are affordable blood pressure cuffs available online.
The good news is you only need to do this once during setup, just to help WHOOP calibrate your personalized blood pressure readings. After that, you’ll get daily blood pressure estimate directly from your wrist.
