MOCACARE, a Silicon Valley based company has launched MOCACuff, a FDA-approved wireless blood pressure monitor that fits comfortably on the wrist. Priced at $69.99, MOCACuff is the second product in the MOCACARE line that makes it easy to incorporate blood pressure monitoring into your everyday routine and receive instant, actionable insights to improve your health.
MOCACARE first product, MOCAheart device uses thumb scans to measure heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and pulse wave velocity – a measurement of arterial stiffness that is correlated to blood pressure and widely recognized as one of the best indicators of overall cardiovascular health.
How it Works
One of the most common problems associated with inaccurate or failed readings stems from uncomfortable or ill fitting upper arm cuffs. Worn on the wrist, the beautifully designed MOCACuff provides an easier alternative to bulky arm cuffs for consumers looking to proactively monitor or improve existing cardiovascular conditions.
Once on, the wrist is brought to heart level and a reading is ready to be performed at the touch-of-a-button. After each reading, the MOCA Cuffscreen displays pulse rate, systolic and diastolic measurements, and a color-coded indicator that corresponds to the American Heart Association’s (AHA) blood pressure categories, allowing users to see where their health stands.
MOCACARE App
MOCACuff connects to the MOCACARE App (Android and iOS compatible) to provide an even more intuitive and insightful heart health monitoring experience for users on their smartphone. MOCACuff helps users visualize their goals and track progress through the App and provides consumers with expertly-curated, personalized health recommendations, which are in accordance with guidelines from the American Heart Association, to achieve their goals. The MOCACARE App also provides customizable data viewing options; either by displaying results as visual trends or alternatively in a list format.
