Blood Pressure Log (Bolt on Mystic Mirror Skill)

Overview

I, like many Americans, have a mild case of hypertension. I measure my blood pressure regularly (ok, somewhat regularly), but I don't ever record the results. I thought about buying one of those smart BP monitors.... but I decided a cheaper option was to continue to use my old bp monitor and use Alexa to record the results.

I took the skill a step further by integrating it with my Mystic Mirror. The skill works stand-alone, but when used with the Mystic Mirror, it provides my latest readings, tells me my average BP, and lets me know the category (based on the American Heart Association).

Demo

• Provide your average blood pressure based on your last ten recordings ("Ask b. p. log to tell me my average b. p. ")

• Export your last ten readings ("Tell b. p. log to export my history").
