The export function sends your health parameters straight to your GP or specialist.

Top features: For cardiovascular health insights, pulse wave velocity – a key metric of arterial stiffness – will chart the time between your heart ejecting blood and it arriving in your feet. Bluetooth or wi-fi pairing with certain health apps and wearable fitness trackers can monitor blood pressure and bone density and share the data with your doc.
