Can stress during a cuff measurement affect calibration?

Some people feel a bit tense when using a cuff, especially while it is inflating. This is completely normal.

During calibration, it’s best to stay relaxed and still so the app can complete the process smoothly.


Will this affect my calibration?

Feeling tense may influence a single measurement taken with the cuff. However, calibration is based on multiple measurements over a few days, which helps provide a more stable starting point.

If needed, the app will guide you to repeat a measurement.


Tips for a smoother calibration

  • Sit comfortably with your back supported

  • Keep your feet flat on the floor

  • Rest quietly for a few minutes before starting

  • Avoid talking or moving during the measurement


Important

If you feel that a measurement didn’t reflect your usual state, you can simply repeat the calibration step by following the instructions in the app.
