The device proved to be dangerously inaccurate and ineffective. Allegedly “approved” and/or validated by medical organisations including the NHS, yet my BP readings and data proved to be regularly incorrect. The consequences for me personally lead to incorrect diagnosis and unnecessary medication including increased dosages. Despite my exchanges with their support team their constant assurances of hourly multiple readings 24/7 finally proved false when compared to being fitted with an NHS 24 hour monitor. The readings on the Aktiia device on average were 10-15 mmHG higher on both systolic and diastolic readings and did not alter during sleep. This is a dangerous device that you should not purchase and whilst more cumbersome you should definitely stick with a traditional device. Having spoken with a number of Cardiologists and Hypertension specialists they have also confirmed that this is the case with numerous of their patients. As you might expect Aktiia have refused me a refund despite my proof but instead have now relaunched their “brand” to Hilo most likely to cover for/distract consumers from the problems with their product. I strongly recommend that you steer clear!
