Heart Health
Heart and Circulatory Diseases (Cardiovascular Disease; CVD) can be a condition we are born with or develop later, such as coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, stroke and vascular dementia.
Many with heart and circulatory disease (about 80%) often have other health conditions as well, such as diabetes or a lung condition.
The Active⁺me system is a complete @Home monitoring system to reduce risks of heart disease, heart faliure or support during recovery from a heart procedure.
Active⁺me REMOTE helps to reduce the risk factors
50% of heart attacks are associated with high blood pressure (hypertension).
Monitor your blood pressure regularly at home with our Blood Pressure Monitor.
* Approved by the British and Irish Hypertension Society.
Maintain a healthy weight
1 in 6 heart and circulatory disease deaths are associated with a high body-mass index. Being a healthy weight reduces risks.
Use our Body Analyser to track your weight, BMI, body composition.
Be active everyday
Being physically active every day can reduce the risk of developing heart and circulatory diseases by as much as 35%.
It can also boost your mood!
Use the BuddyBand2 wrist activity tracker or the Active⁺me REMOTE App to track how active you are each day.
