Use of watch used to measure BP..OX..HR?

I’m interested in purchasing a watch that will measure my Alzheimer's husband’s blood pressure, oxygen, and heart rate. I want to use this information to decide if certain medications can be given to him..


Has anyone used these watches?? Any help on how well they work ?

I have an Apple Watch that takes my pulse and also will do an EKG. I consider it interesting and “fun”, but I would never rely on it for accurate health information.

If you have any concerns about his medications, I would contact his doctor for advice before deciding whether or not to administer meds.

I personally do not think the wrist blood pressure “cuff” is accurate. When using the wrist cuff one must have their arm at a certain height or level to the heart for accurate readings and imo it’s harder to keep the arm in the correct position, thus the result is questionable. Just my opinion.
