Health Tracker: BP Monitor is an Android app from HealthTracker Apps. At heart it’s a logbook: you record your blood pressure, blood sugar and weight readings and get them back as charts.
What Health Tracker is for
After taking your blood pressure with a cuff, you type in the numbers and the app tells you whether they fall within the usual ranges. Blood sugar, weight and BMI are tracked the same way. Heart rate can be estimated with the phone’s camera and flash: you rest a fingertip on the lens and the app picks up changes in blood flow, a method called photoplethysmography. From that it also derives heart rate variability and a stress score. On top of this come reminders, a step counter, local weather, articles, recipes and a chatbot called AI Doctor, which the developer itself describes as for reference only.
Who is it for?
It suits people who need to keep an eye on their blood pressure or blood sugar and want a readable history to show their doctor, instead of a paper notebook. It doesn’t replace a blood pressure monitor or a glucose meter.
Download Health Tracker safely
