With the accelerated pace of life, health has become the focus of more and more young people's attention. Medical and health product manufacturers have begun to take the banner of innovation and focus on electronic, intelligent and universal next-generation products, and whether these products can really bring convenience to people. Today, the author selects two intelligent sphygmomanometers, Xiaomi iHealth intelligent cloud sphygmomanometer and Lexin i6 WeChat sphygmomanometer are respectively. Next, we will conduct a detailed comparative evaluation of these two products, and take a closer look at the innovation of medical and health products.
Packaging comparison

Happy heart
Both Xiaomi and Lexin used paper packaging this time. Xiaomi's packaging is mainly orange and white, while Lexin's packaging is red and white, which are very similar in color matching.
When put together, it is obvious that the package of Xiaomi iHealth is much larger, but when you hold the two products in your hand, you will find that the weight and volume are obviously not in proportion, and the happy ones are much heavier than Xiaomi's products.
When the package was opened, Xiaomi adopted a sandwich structure, with white top cover, product and orange bottom support.
Lexin uses the traditional upper and lower structure.
Product Comparison
Xiaomi continues the sandwich style on the package, and the product is a separate sphygmomanometer host and blue cuff. In fact, as a complete sphygmomanometer, you also need a Xiaomi mobile phone (some other brands of mobile phones are also available, and Lenovo K900 is available for personal testing).
Compared with Xiaomi, Lexin is much more integrated. The main body of the sphygmomanometer (with its own screen) is connected with the cuff, which is a fully integrated sphygmomanometer. Considering the portability, the author is more inclined to Lexin.
In terms of color matching, Xiaomi has only a white model at present, and Lexin i6 has three colors: white, green and blue.
In terms of cuff, Xiaomi matches the blue nylon material, while Lexin uses the gray flannelette material. Although nylon material is lightweight, stain resistant and cost saving, it is at the expense of user experience. The author personally measured that during the measurement with millet sphygmomanometer, the cuff wrapped edge will feel pain obviously. If the user is an elderly person, this effect will be even more obvious. Lexin's flannelette material avoids this situation. (It is worth noting that the cuff of traditional sphygmomanometers is generally made of flannelette.)
Both Xiaomi and Lexin have instructions on the cuff, but it should be noted that Xiaomi's cuff is very wide, which adds a lot of burden to the use of some girls and elderly people, and even some girls with short upper arms can't do it at all - the red edge of the cuff is 2cm from the elbow.
Both use traditional nylon fasteners.
A non slip bolt (convex part) is placed at the end of the cuff.
In terms of energy saving, the screen will automatically turn off when Lexin is not used for a period of time, and it will enter the standby state. If it is completely shut down, you need to manually turn off the power key; Xiaomi has no physical power key. Plug in the mobile phone equipped with APP, and the sphygmomanometer will start automatically. In addition, the LED of the sphygmomanometer will stay on without unplugging the mobile phone. (Is it a bit power consuming?).
This time, Xiaomi's power interface uses a very regular trapezoid, which brings users a lot of trouble in replacing parts. In contrast, Lexin is a regular DC interface.

The power adapter corresponding to the power interface is only a power cord, but the direct charging of Xiaomi series mobile phones can be used as the power adapter of the sphygmomanometer.
The cell phone connector of Xiaomi sphygmomanometer is obviously too long. Most cell phones, including Xiaomi series, will leak out when plugged in.
Due to the separate design of millet sphygmomanometer, a silicone tube is connected to the cuff end.
Although Lexin adopts an integrated structure, its cuff can also be disassembled. There are two buckles and two air holes on the back of the cuff (red for buckles, blue for air holes).

Summary: Xiaomi's separate design and Lexin's integrated design have their own advantages. In terms of portability, Le Xin is more suitable for travel; In terms of the comfort of the cuff, Le Xin's flannelette design has a better user experience; Xiaomi sphygmomanometer needs to be equipped with Xiaomi series mobile phones, which is a bit like a rogue bundle sale; In terms of data viewing, Xiaomi has a section of silicone tube, so the mobile phone can be placed in its own comfortable place at will, while Lexin must be worn on the upper arm. For the elderly, it is still difficult to look down on their upper arm.
Getting started
Before using the Xiaomi sphygmomanometer, you need to download and install the "iHealth" APP, and Lexin can use it directly. Of course, you can enjoy a better experience by following the WeChat of Lexin sphygmomanometer.
The whole measurement process of Xiaomi sphygmomanometer is carried out on the mobile phone. Connect the adapted mobile phone equipped with "iHealth" APP to the sphygmomanometer, and the sphygmomanometer will start automatically, and the data can only be viewed on the mobile phone.
The heart rate fluctuation chart can be seen when the millet sphygmomanometer is measuring. The measurement takes about 30 seconds. Of course, the measurement results are the classic "high pressure, low pressure, heart rate" three blood pressure measurements, which will be displayed in different colors according to the data normality. All measurement data can be seen in the result viewing interface. You can view the dynamics and your family in the "Love Family" interface.
Under each measurement result, there are three options: caring, reminding and talking. Caring is similar to liking on Weibo. Reminding is adding an alarm clock, and talking is equivalent to "notes".
Click each measurement result card to view all the analysis data.
The Lexin sphygmomanometer host has a screen and three measurement keys (visitor measurement keys, father and mother measurement keys), so the operation process is also in the sphygmomanometer itself.
Lexin i6 does not have the so-called APP, but directly uses the WeChat synchronization function. Synchronizing WeChat means that we don't need to think too much about whether to adapt to iOS or Android, which is just the most troublesome problem for intelligent hardware manufacturers at present, and also the most painful thing for users.
For each measurement result, Lexin i6 will transmit the data to WeChat via the built-in SIM card (without affecting the local data). On the WeChat page, we can see the data push results, view some health information, and on the settings page, we can also see the power of Lexin i6, SIM card recharge and other data.
For each measurement data, Lexin also has some suggestions and weekly reports, as well as everyone's information to fill in, so that Lexin can give the best health reminder.
Summary
Xiaomi iHealth intelligent cloud sphygmomanometer and Lexin i6 WeChat sphygmomanometer are innovative products of current medical and health product manufacturers. Due to time constraints, their products have more or less shortcomings, but their shortcomings cannot deny that they are more intelligent, electronic and universal than traditional sphygmomanometers.
Compared with traditional sphygmomanometers, Xiaomi and Lexin's products are more compact, more convenient to use, more "stupid" to operate, and more humane.
However, there is no perfect product. The separation design and "bundling" sales of Xiaomi sphygmomanometer, the rough APP design and nylon cuff gradually lower its position in people's minds.
Although Lexin has grasped the forward-looking core basic function of WeChat synchronization, the built-in SIM card directly killed this function, because in most environments with good network signals, Lexin has no signal, or only one signal, while the official customer service said that data synchronization requires more than three signals, so, Undoubtedly, data synchronization is a hard injury to the Lexin sphygmomanometer. It is worth noting that this evaluation is about engineering machines, and we hope that the retail version will be improved later.
Finally, we are most concerned about the selling price. The Lexin i6 sphygmomanometer will be sold at the price of 599 in JD in the middle of this month. For 599, you can buy a complete intelligent sphygmomanometer; The Xiaomi iHealth smart cloud sphygmomanometer, which is already on the market, still uses the usual civilian price, 199. However, 199, what you bought is not a complete product, and you need to configure a mobile phone that can adapt to this sphygmomanometer.
