Is this better than the omicron? Her BP is high and the doc wants her to monitor. She's on special BP meds. Ever since the vaccine, before then she didn't need it. My mom has a premium looking model we bought years ago, but it is inaccurate according to the doctor. Maybe it's harder to wear accurately because it has a harder cuff. Is this one better?

Omron is listed on the American Medical Associations website while Greater Goods brand is not. https://www.validatebp.org/ But it still could be great and accurate. It sure has a lot of positive reviews.

As for yours. Hard to know without more details. If she is using a wrist monitor those are known to be lower accuracy. American Heart Association recommends arm cuffs.

Did they say it's an accurate model, type, or the measurements differ? If the latter, my home measurements are generally lower (sometimes significantly) than in store monitors and in doc office. But cardiologist explained thats due to different stress levels. Cardiology appointments aren't particularly low stress environments unless they've really loaded you up on beta blockers. Wink

Recommends both Omron Evolv and this brand's 602 and 604 models. This one is 662, no idea if this one is newer or how different.

this is a validated brand and model number, however, I think most people opt to go with Omron instead lol

Omron recommends you replace the cuff annually for accurate readings. I had no problem finding replacement cuffs for my Omron but couldn't find a replacement cuff for this model. Either Greater Goods has some proprietary technology that Omron doesn't so you don't need to replace the cuff or they expect you to just buy a new one every year.

Any digital automatic bp monitor is not going to be as accurate as the sphygmomanometer the doctors use - they are good enough for most part. They tell you if the BP is high or not. But you can't rely on them for accurate measurements. For accuracy, I suggest to buy a manual one with analog dial. I am old school, so I use the mercury one (something like this one https://www.amazon.com/TTZ-Profes...09FXK3TTY/). It takes a little learning to use it (listening to the stethoscope), but it is a lot more accurate.

Salt and stress are the enemies when it comes to managing BP.
