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.

Requires iHealth App download

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. Systolic Blood Pressure 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 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

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 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

First Setup the iHealth App, if you haven’t already
