Users can measure their heart rate and blood pressure by simply placing their finger on the sensor at the back side of the device and the readings will be displayed on the screen. According to the product description, the healthcare features are only for assistance in measuring the users' well-being and not a substitute for medical equipment such as the heart rate calculator and sphygmomanometer, hence users can resort to a medical practitioner for a professional check-up.
