1. Functional positioning
Sphygmomanometer:
Main function: Mainly used to measure a single blood pressure value, including systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and heart rate.
Use scenario: Suitable for daily monitoring at home, rapid measurement in hospital outpatient clinics, etc.
Features: Simple operation, relatively low price, suitable for people who occasionally measure blood pressure.
Blood pressure monitor:
Main function: In addition to measuring a single blood pressure value, it also has a continuous monitoring function, which can record the trend of blood pressure changes over a period of time.
Use scenario: Suitable for people who need to monitor blood pressure changes for a long time, such as patients with hypertension, patients with cardiovascular diseases, etc., and is also commonly used in medical scenarios such as hospital wards and intensive care.
Features: More powerful functions, can provide more comprehensive blood pressure data, but the price is relatively high.
2. Measurement method
Sphygmomanometer:
Measurement method: Usually manual or automatic inflation is used to measure blood pressure, and the measurement time is short, generally only tens of seconds per measurement.
Measurement frequency: Generally a single measurement, and data needs to be manually recorded after each measurement.
Blood pressure monitor:
Measurement method: You can set the automatic measurement mode, such as measuring every 15 minutes or 30 minutes, and continuously record blood pressure data for 24 hours or longer.
Measurement frequency: It can provide dynamic blood pressure monitoring data to help doctors or patients understand the fluctuation of blood pressure.
3. Data recording and analysis
Blood pressure monitor:
Data recording: Usually only the current measured blood pressure value can be displayed, and some high-end models may support simple historical data storage.
Data analysis: The function is limited, and generally only simple statistical information such as basic average values can be provided.
Blood pressure monitor:
Data recording: It can record a large amount of continuous blood pressure data and save it through built-in storage or cloud storage.
Data analysis: It has more powerful data analysis functions, which can generate blood pressure change curves, statistical reports, etc., to help users or doctors better understand the trend of blood pressure changes.
4. Usage scenarios
Blood pressure monitor:
Home use: It is suitable for daily monitoring at home, so that users can understand their blood pressure at any time.
Hospital outpatient clinic: Doctors can quickly measure patients' blood pressure in outpatient clinics to assist in diagnosis.
Blood pressure monitor:
Long-term home monitoring: Suitable for patients with hypertension or cardiovascular disease to conduct long-term monitoring at home to help adjust treatment plans.
Hospital ward: Used for continuous blood pressure monitoring of patients in the ward to detect abnormal blood pressure in time.
Dynamic blood pressure monitoring: Used for 24-hour dynamic blood pressure monitoring in hospitals to help diagnose hypertension, assess cardiovascular risks, etc.
5. Price
Blood pressure monitor:
Price range: Generally, the price ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan, which is suitable for ordinary families to buy.
Blood pressure monitor:
Price range: The price is relatively high, usually ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan, and some high-end models are more expensive.
6. Technical features
Blood pressure monitor:
Technology: Mainly uses oscillometric method or Korotkoff sound method to measure blood pressure, and the technology is relatively mature.
Design: Usually portable design, small size, light weight, easy to carry.
Blood pressure monitor:
Technology: In addition to oscillometric method and Korotkoff sound method, some high-end models also use new technologies such as pulse wave measurement method for more accurate measurement.
Design: Some models are designed to be wearable, such as wrist-based blood pressure monitors, so they can be worn for long periods of time.
