Withings today announced the availability of its Blood Pressure Monitor, the first BP monitor designed to works with iOS devices. The Withings Blood Pressure Monitor has received FDA clearance and is available now on www.withings.com for $129 USD.

Cédric Hutchings, Withings co-founder says, "Apple has revolutionized the smartphone and tablet market with both its design and functionality. We have strived to extend this revolution into the field of health and fitness by integrating our products- Withings WiFi Body Scale and Blood Pressure Monitor- to work seamlessly with Apple iOS devices."

To use the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor user has to wrap the blood pressure cuff around their arm and plug it directly into their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch using the incorporated syncing cable. Once connected, the Withings application launches instantly and is ready to begin the measurement. When the reading is complete, the full results (Systole, Diastole and heart rate) are saved directly on the device, eliminating manual tracking.

A user's stats can be accessed from their device or personal Withings webpage instantly. Results are saved denoting dates and time of day for each reading, to help when comparing morning, afternoon and evening readings. Results can easily be shared by emailing results to a doctor and/or using the device's automatic sharing feature to sync with popular personal health record sites like Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault.
