About bpmeter

No clinician writes or reviews this site

This site is run independently and is not written, reviewed or endorsed by a doctor, a nurse, a pharmacist or any medical organisation. Nobody here is qualified to interpret your blood pressure, and this site does not attempt to.

That constraint is the reason for how everything here is written. bpmeter reports what a named, dated, linked guideline says about two numbers, and it performs arithmetic anyone can reproduce. It does not offer opinions, advice, recommendations or reassurance, because it is not in a position to give any of them. Where a question needs clinical judgement, the honest answer is that it needs a clinician.

How it is written

• Every published number carries its source and the date it was last checked, next to the number. A value without those does not appear at all.
• Every result sentence has the guideline as its subject. This site reports what the guideline says about a reading; it never makes a statement about you.
• Nothing is personalised. There is no age, sex, weight, medication or condition input, and adding one would change what this site is.
• When something cannot be sourced, it is not published — including on this page. What was checked, and how.

How it makes money

At the moment, it does not. If advertising is ever added, it will not appear on any page where a reading is entered or displayed — not because that would be unprofitable, but because an advertising script on such a page can read what is on it.

There are no sponsored placements, no referrals to clinics or telehealth services, no lead forms, and no arrangement anywhere on this site that pays out based on what your reading turns out to be.

Corrections

If a threshold here is out of date or a formula is stated wrongly, that is a defect worth fixing quickly. The classification table is versioned, and changes to it are made only when the underlying guideline changes.
