When contemplating gifts for Valentine’s Day why not consider gifts both from and for the heart. If you think that’s a good idea here are a few last minute gadget gifts to consider for that quickly arriving special day.
QardioArm
If you’re considering a gift for the heart, check out the QardioArm by Qardio. It’s a wireless and portable Smart Blood Pressure Monitor that accurately measures you heart rate, blood pressure and looks out for an irregular heartbeat.
Designed to work nicely with Apple Health, Qardio tracks your measurements over time providing you with a smart chart and appropriate statistics and looks for trends. In addition to measuring, you can also record the data, store it in Qardio’s secure cloud and optionally share it with your family and medical professionals. It’s all done using Qardio’s companion app for iOS and Android.
