25% – It is estimated that one in four adults in Switzerland have high blood pressure.1
50% – From the age of 60, this figure rises to one in two people.1
Dangerous and often unnoticed
High blood pressure sneaks up on you and, if it goes unnoticed for long enough, can cause considerable damage to the body. To make sure this doesn’t happen, it’s a good idea to take your blood pressure regularly.
Prevention is better than cure
You can prevent high blood pressure by adopting a healthy lifestyle, e.g. eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. Obesity, smoking and stress, on the other hand, increase the risk of high blood pressure and should be avoided.
Living with high blood pressure
Once high blood pressure sets in permanently, your daily life will feature regular measurements, changes in lifestyle and often also medication, all of which bring a whole new set of challenges.
The app is a certified medical device and helps you manage your heart health with ease:
Blood pressure control
The Sanitas Coach helps you keep a diary on your blood pressure values – you can enter your values via your smartphone camera or by connecting a blood pressure monitor. The app also reminds you to take your blood pressure and provides personal feedback and recommendations for action based on your values. So you always know where you’re at.
Share reports
And you can share your current blood pressure report quickly and easily with your doctor via PDF or via code directly in the consultation.
Medication reminder
In the Sanitas Coach app, you can enter medication that you need to take regularly. The app sends you a push notification reminding you to take the medication at the right time. Once you have taken the medication, you have completed a goal in your daily schedule.
Healthy lifestyle
You get a personal health plan with individual goals for diet, exercise and relaxation. The Sanitas Coach uses your fitness data from Apple Health and Google Fit to ensure that the plan is tailored to your requirements. Quickly being able to see initial improvements will motivate you to keep going!
Know-how
Helpful tips and fun quizzes on the topic of high blood pressure will help you have a better understanding of the disease.
