Filip Brož Every person has their personal health at the top of their list of values. Don't worry, we only have one thing, health, and every doctor will confirm that you need to take care of your body and health and, above all, go for regular preventive medical check-ups. Just recently, I had one such check-up and the doctor wondered why my blood pressure was so high again and I had gained almost five kilograms since my last visit. I tried to explain to her that I always have high blood pressure mainly at the doctor because of stress, and my weight simply jumped from a high workload and a decrease in healthy exercise. In conclusion, she encouraged me to measure my blood pressure regularly and write down the values, as well as watch my weight more closely and maintain a proper lifestyle with healthy movement.
I am very glad that we live in a technical world and a digital era, because thanks to two products from Salter and their product MiBody, I have a complete overview of my body, individual parameters and everything is safely stored with immediate access on my iPhone. Salter MiBody includes two products – personal weight and a functional tonometer, i.e. a fully automatic wrist tonometer pressure gauge.
Salter MiBody personal scale
Every user has certainly encountered a classic personal scale, but this scale is not quite so common. Weight MiBody with the designation 9154 it can perform several practical functions that will come in handy when you need to know more detailed information about your body and, above all, your body values. The Salter MiBody personal scale can calculate your exact body mass index (BMI), body fat, body water content or percentage expression of muscle content in your body in addition to the classic scale display.
Salter MiBody is an elegant black or white scale with a glass surface, which is very nicely processed in terms of design. The only thing you have to do for the scale to work correctly is to start it with one step, press the middle wheel to select the user and then just weigh yourself in the classic way. You will immediately see your personal settings and all current measured values on the display, which are immediately synchronized with the application on your iOS device via a two-way Bluetooth connection. The Salter MiBody personal scale has a total of four user memories, so it can be used by a family of four without any problems. You can also choose the athlete mode, which again expands your possibilities of use to new values and body measurements.
Salter MiBody blood pressure monitor
Wrist tonometer Salter MiBody marked BPW-9154 is a device that measures your blood pressure including heart rate. Again, you have all come across this device, especially at the doctor's, when blood pressure is measured in most clinical departments. Most of these devices are placed on the arm where the measurement takes place. However, the Salter MiBody sphygmomanometer is placed on the left wrist, which, according to doctors, is another possible place on our body where current blood pressure can be measured.
The device has the same user accounts as a personal scale, but here we have only two to choose from and the guest mode, which does not cooperate with the mobile application and only displays the values on the display. After putting on the Salter MiBody blood pressure monitor, you simply select the user with the button and start the measurement with the Start/Stop button. Subsequently, the cuff of the device will start to inflate on your hand and in a few seconds you will immediately see how you are doing, whether you have low, optimal or high blood pressure. The device will also show you your heart rate, and all values are synchronized almost instantly through the application on your device.
The Salter MiBody sphygmomanometer is a small device made of plastic, containing three buttons and a backlit display. The whole device is very compact and you can easily carry it with you in your bag. In terms of design, it looks like an oversized watch on your hand, which thanks to the adjustable cuff you can fit on any hand, be it a child or an adult. In the same way, you will find an accompanying illustration on the cuff, indicating where you should place the device and in what position your hand should be during the measurement.
The brain of both devices – the Salter MiBody app
The main governing body of the Salter MiBody personal scale and blood pressure monitor is a free application for all iOS devices with the same name. You will be prompted to install the application immediately after unpacking one of the devices, because without this application the products lose their main purpose, i.e. that you want to have control and supervision over your body and parameters. After the first launch, you create a free personal account with your e-mail address, password and entering all personal information from name to age, date of birth, gender, height, current weight and any personal photo.
You will then get to the main menu, where you will see your name and, above all, two boxes: Analyzer Scale for personal weight and Blood Pressure for pressure gauge. All individual measurements and weighings will be stored in these two tabs. But even before that, you need to pair both devices with the application. It is very simple and intuitive, just turn on Bluetooth on the selected device, then go to the settings of the Salter MiBody application and at the top you will immediately see a large plus button, which, when you press it, will search for one or both devices and, following the steps, pair both devices in a few seconds and they are ready for data transfer.
Salter MiBody is a very user-friendly and simple application that can be operated by any user without any problems. In the individual tabs, you can search, browse, filter content or compare statistically. With the help of various graphs and scales, you can easily see how your weight has changed over the course of individual days or months, or how your blood pressure fluctuates or how your body gains fat and muscle mass. In the application, you can set a motivational weight reduction task according to your wishes. There are various gadgets and options in the area of sharing, commenting on individual measurements and other editing and user settings. The application deserves a huge plus especially in the area of security, as your account can only be accessed with your e-mail address and password, and you can easily manage the data of the whole family on one device.
Body under control easily and effectively
Measuring body parameters with devices from Salter is a very pleasant experience. Both devices are of course sold separately, so you have the option to choose either just one of them or both. I note that if you own both devices, you will gain practically complete control over your body. Using both devices in practice was very quick and simple. I can say that after unpacking both devices from the box, within a few minutes I paired the devices with the app, created a simple account and started the measurement itself. Both Salter MiBody devices use Bluetooth 4.0 technology, which allows absolutely smooth and fast transfer of all data to the application on your device. Practically during the time I was standing on the scale, we could already see the measured values on my iPhone.
The Salter MiBody personal scale can handle weighing on any surface and the load capacity specified by the manufacturer is up to 200 kilograms. During the entire period of use, I did not encounter any obstacles or significant limitations. Both devices are powered by classic pencil batteries, which you receive free of charge together with the products in the package. If we look at the price of individual Salter MiBody devices, you can buy a personal scale for 2 crowns and a pressure gauge for 1 crowns, which are very reasonable prices from the point of view of what the device together with the application offers. The Salter MiBoby application is completely free to download in the App Store.

Good, nice review, I would be interested in comparing the quality of the output data from the tonometer (pressure gauge).
Are the data accurate, is it possible to detect a deviation?
