  • Lack of analysis using graphs and reports;
  • Does not have the function of measuring heart rate on the cell phone itself.

Thus, AMPA does not measure blood pressure, it works as a diary for better monitoring. The patient must have a blood pressure measuring device or go to health centers for daily monitoring, and thus register them in the application.

When to use the AMPA application?

As mentioned, the application is mainly recommended for hypertensive patients, helping them to record their daily inquiries of blood pressure.

This will help the doctor to better monitor treatments or even start treatment. It also helps in the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic control of high blood pressure.

It can be very useful for sharing data with the doctor before or at the beginning of the consultation, providing more complete data for a better follow-up.
