Our digital vital signs devices

Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter

Measures the saturation of your red blood cells with oxygen providing an assessment of how well your lungs and heart are able to move oxygen around your body.

This device will also measure your Pulse, otherwise known as your Heart rate. This is the number of beats your heart makes per minute.

Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor

Measures your blood pressure. It will provide two numbers. First is the Systolic Blood pressure (SBP).

This is the pressure measured when you heart is contracting to push blood around your body. This will be the higher reading. The Diastolic blood Pressure (DBP) is the pressure when the heart is relaxed.

Forehead Thermometer

This provides a accurate, instant, and quiet reading of your body temperature. 

The large LED display ensures easy readability. It's designed for convenience, allowing you to quickly read temperatures even in low-light conditions, and its modern aesthetic adds a touch of sophistication to your health toolkit.

Scales

Our scales use bioimpedance to assess body composition. With an advanced ITO conductive coating, iHealth Fit measures the body's resistance to electrical flow to determine total body water volume. From this data, it estimates nine key body parameters, providing a comprehensive view of your body composition.  We will use the parameters to manage your condition

Kardia Mobile App

Monitor your heart health anytime with a medical-grade six-lead ECG using KardiaMobile 6L, delivering results to your phone in just 30 seconds.

Instantly analyze your heart rhythm on your smartphone and share the results with us in a single tap.

Smart Asthma Wireless Adapter

The Smart Asthma Wireless Adapter is a Bluetooth-enabled device designed to connect 3.5 mm audio jack devices wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet. This eliminates the need for physical connections and makes usage more convenient.

iHealth Fit Scale

9 precise data to know yourself better

Bioimpedance is the method commonly used by home scales to calculate body composition. iHealth Fit uses the bioimpedance method by using an advanced ITO conductive coating to determine the resistance to electrical flow through the body, and uses this to calculate total body water volume. From total body water, it can estimate 9 body parameters.

  • Weight

  • BMI

  • Fat mass

  • Lean mass

  • Muscle Mass

  • Body water

  • Bone mass

  • Visceral Fat Rating

  • Daily Calorie Intake

Measure even the smallest changes in weight thanks to four highly sensitive sensors. iHealth Fit provides highly accurate measurements.
