Before, iHealth worked with Xiaomi to produce a sphygmomanometer called iHealth BP3. Due to the no screen display design, it can only be used normally when the phone is plugged in. All the sphygmomanometers are divided into Android version and iOS version, which naturally lacks versatility. Now the Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer launched by Mijia and iHealth, a subsidiary of Xiaomi, is an evolutionary upgrade of the previous generation of products. It not only adds the color display screen of the previous Mingmen, but also has clear live voice broadcast, WeChat interaction and more simple operation steps for the elderly. Everything is just to make the product a good helper for our parents' intelligent health.
■ Unpacking experience
The packaging of Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer continues the simplicity of Xiaomi products. The color is the traditional white of Xiaomi smart home. The front is only printed with the eye-catching logo of the iHealth sphygmomanometer and the logo of Mijia. The lower side is the interactive app QR code interface on the mobile phone. It can be seen from the related parameter information on the back that Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer is still a product belonging to the category of medical devices, So we don't need to worry about security. After all, it is produced by Jiu'an Medical (iHealth is its sub brand).
After unpacking the package, it can be seen that the iHealth sphygmomanometer is lying on the top of the box. Since the sphygmomanometer is an uneven object with an inclined surface, an inclined hollow groove is reserved in the inner packaging box, so that the sphygmomanometer can be opened flat when it is put on, as shown in the figure below; Open a layer of paper cover below and you can see that the size of the cuff matched with the iHealth sphygmomanometer is much smaller than the previous product, and the color has changed from sky blue to gray, which is more harmonious with white. Science and technology are people-oriented, and small progress also requires a lot of efforts and hardships.
Other accessories are placed under the compartment of Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer, with three guarantee certificate and warranty card, quick use guide, user manual, white charging cable of Micro USB interface and certificate of conformity. Accessories and mainframe are all white, giving people a very pure and refreshing feeling. Essentially, medical products look like smart home products.
■ Interpretation of product appearance
Take out the host Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer. We can see that the sphygmomanometer is a small square with four rounded corners. The radian of the four corners is large, which can be regarded as a compensation for the heavy volume. The front of the fuselage is covered with a transparent acrylic cover plate, with radians around it, much like the 2.5D screen on the mobile phone, but the radians are not so large and smoother; The side and back are made of matt plastic, similar to the material of Xiaomi patch board. The 4.3 inch display screen is located on the top of the front of the body, and it is also pasted with a protective film, which is considered to be a more intimate performance. According to the fineness and light transmission performance, it should be a TFT screen. At the bottom of the screen are the only two keys on the fuselage, the "father test" key and the "mother test" key, which are also made of transparent acrylic, but the color displayed is deeper than the front acrylic panel, and the color difference is within the acceptable range. There is a double-layer mechanism on the back. There is a groove with a vertical line on the left and right ends of the outer ring. There are holes in it. The speaker on the left is used to provide voice service, and the air flow hole and heat sink on the right; The product logo is in the middle of the inner ring, and four round anti slip rubber pads are on the inner side of the four corners.
The side of the iHealth sphygmomanometer is very clean. Only the left side has two holes. The round one is the cuff connection port, and the flat one is the charging port. The charging interface uses Micro USB, so theoretically, it can also be charged with a power bank. After trying it, it is really possible. According to the back label, the built-in battery capacity of this product is 2200 mA. It should not be a problem to calculate how many months it will take to recharge it three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.
Mijia iHealth's three dimensions are 119mm * 118mm * 51mm, and its weight is 350g. Because it is tilted from the back to the front, it does not appear bulky in front and side view. The lowest point in the front is 27mm. Compared with traditional mercury sphygmomanometers or other electronic arm sphygmomanometers, Mijia iHealth is relatively round and compact in size.
In details, the only logo on the front of Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer shows that this product is still dominated by the iHealth brand. After all, the happy life dominated by Xiaomi needs a healthy body to enjoy and experience. The transparent acrylic on the front is as shiny as the light. Both the panel and the buttons make people feel the urge to touch. I believe that parents are willing to touch such a pleasing blood pressure meter more every day, rather than just putting it aside like other crude instruments, Perhaps this is also the embodiment of Mijia's pursuit of Muji.
■ Preparation and start-up
Next, we open the cuff of Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer to prepare for trial run. The cuff is bound with gray nylon fastener cloth+felt cloth, and the rest is smooth knitting fiber. The outermost side of the cuff is marked with information such as wearing precautions. The cuff equipped with this product is 22-30cm, which can be easily handled by adult men and women, but if it is too fat, it will be difficult to bind it. There is a downward arrow sign on the lower side of the connection of the hose mouth, reminding you not to bend and twist the hose at will. There is also a red edge binding prompt on the edge of the cuff on the same side. The triple prompt is a more careful practice.
If the host does not connect the cuff nozzle and press any key, the Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer will display the current indoor temperature. If it is plugged in, it will automatically start up without pressing any key. Press any measurement key of father or mother to start measurement. Pressing any measurement key again during measurement will stop measurement and shut down the machine.
As shown in the figure, the way to wear the cuff should not be like small knitting. First, use the left hand as much as possible to measure the centrifugal dirt more accurately; Secondly, the cuff should be 1-2cm away from the elbow, so the small knitting is too close; Finally, don't tie it too tightly, of course, too loosely.
At the beginning of power on, the prompt is displayed: "Please keep quiet when measuring". Then the arm will feel the pressure of the cuff. The pressure process is relatively gentle, with little fluctuation, which will not make people feel uncomfortable obviously. The pressure sound is very small, which can hardly be heard by others except themselves. If the arm is not flat or the cuff is not properly worn, a corresponding prompt will appear on the host screen. At the same time, the synchronized pulse fluctuation and heartbeat rate of the measured person will be dynamically displayed on the screen, making the pressure measurement process vivid and interesting. Finally, the measurement results will display the specific values of high pressure, low pressure and heart rate in Chinese, and the system will automatically judge whether it is hypertension according to the values, and then read out the measured values by voice, which greatly facilitates the presbyopian elderly group, without worrying about the problems that can not be seen clearly. After the test, you can press the measurement button to turn off the device, or wait a minute for the sphygmomanometer to turn off automatically, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn off the device and consuming electricity.
When the test is repeated for many times, the value of the later test will be compared with the value of the previous test, so that changes can be found intuitively, and the voice will also report the changes.
■ Smart APP interaction
Although the name of Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer does not include intelligence, the product is still a smart home (physiotherapy) product, so it is natural that the interaction and interconnection of APP is indispensable. According to the tips in the front box, we can find two APPs, "iHealth" and "Aijiakang". Here I choose Aijiakang. Since Xiaobian mobile phones are equipped with Xiaomi smart homes, we found that these three APPs can actually interact with Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer, greatly facilitating the widespread use of this product.
Aijiakang needs a Xiaomi account to log in. If you don't log in, you can't add a Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer in the visitor mode, so you have to log in honestly. After logging in, select the Lilliputian button in the upper right corner of the main interface to enter My Sphygmomanometer in the user settings to match it.
Follow the steps, press and hold the mother key for 10 seconds to enter the WiFi setting interface, and then follow the prompts N next steps to connect to the Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer. After successful connection, the host screen and mobile phone APP interface will have corresponding prompts. Because there is a WIFI connection in the middle, the first connection takes a little longer, but it is not necessary to connect in the future. Opening the software is already connected, which is very convenient.
After selecting the sphygmomanometer, you will enter the blood pressure recording interface, where all the data measured by your father and mother are included, showing the fluctuation of high and low pressure in the form of a curve. Click "find more" to evaluate the test data, so that users can have a more intuitive understanding of their physical conditions. Click the curve to see the interpretation of the measurement results of the corresponding time. The font is very large for the elderly to preview.
Enter more options in the upper right corner, and you can set the daily startup reminder function. However, if the prompt statement can be set by yourself, it will be more effective. There is also the WeChat sharing function, which allows the migrant workers who work far away from home to know their parents' physical conditions at any time, which is very considerate. The power of the sphygmomanometer can be seen in the equipment management to avoid the embarrassment of power failure when using it next time.
After trying the WeChat sharing function, we need to follow the public account of "iHealth Intelligent Blood Pressure Control" according to the QR code, so that the bound device can receive and view the data transmitted from the host. The data display is almost the same as that in the APP.
■ Summary
Through this trial, I finally understood why Mijia iHealth sphygmomanometer did not add an "intelligence" to the name of the spring tide place, because it is really simple and convenient to use. It can automatically measure blood pressure once tied and pressed, and can be easily learned and used by the adaptability of the elderly. The intelligent part, that is, the APP end, feels that it is for family members to keep abreast of the elderly's physical dynamics. If other products are doing simple things under the guise of intelligence, we will certainly complain about it. This is precisely a product aimed at the elderly, so this kind of appropriate "intelligence" is just right.
Xiaomi's product features and iHealth's technical strength and quality combine to produce the iHealth sphygmomanometer. If you have an elderly person or a parent who has blood pressure problems, this sphygmomanometer is undoubtedly a very suitable choice. It is completely different from the copycat style of other electronic sphygmomanometers on the market, and only has its own copy of Muji, Just to be a good helper for parents' health.
