KUALA LUMPUR: This Father’s Day, let’s acknowledge the heart of a hero needs to be protected. Dads always put their families first, but their health needs are also important. Heart disease often goes undetected due to lack of awareness and monitoring of blood pressure, which today can be done at home.
Hypertension is described as a silent killer because many are not aware they have it. Silent but deadly, which can lead to other health problems such heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney damage and blood clots.
Besides going to the doctor, a good way to measure blood pressure is to regularly check it at home. Regular checking will reveal abnormalities in blood pressure, while the normal reading is 120/80 but to really ensure accuracy, a few rules need to be followed. One of the most important, to take blood pressure at around the same time every day for accuracy.
Today, blood pressure monitoring is made easy by using a good blood pressure monitor and OMRON Healthcare’s Japan-imported blood pressure monitors make a perfect Father’s Day gift. In today’s past paced world, it becomes even more important to provide the best of healthcare to our ageing parents, especially given the stress and pressure they faced during their working lives.
Currently, OMRON provides total prevention and digital health management solutions with its newly launched HealthGift rewards programme on the OMRON Connect app.
The users of OMRON’s connected devices (a range of Blood Pressure Monitors and Body Composition Monitors) are encouraged to adopt healthy prevention habits such as regular blood pressure home monitoring while receiving rewards at the same time.
OMRON sets the standard by providing the best and one of the most accurate measurements of blood pressure. OMRON’s range of connected devices are also equipped with the OMRON Connect mobile app, which automatically records and keeps track of blood pressure readings, allowing you or your father to take readings anytime, anywhere. These readings help with monitoring trends and changes, giving valuable insights about your blood pressure, and can be programmed to give reminders for medication times as well. Your father’s health data can easily be uploaded, stored and shared with you or other family members and doctors, ensuring that you will always have the information you need at your fingertips.
In return for the trust placed in OMRON, the HealthGift digital rewards programme awards points (collected in the form of HealthCoins) for health prevention activities like regularly measuring one’s blood pressure.
These HealthCoins can then be redeemed for vouchers such as Shell, Touch ‘n Go, Family Mart and more. Additionally, HealthGift users can also participate in the monthly or quarterly bidding to win exciting prizes such as iPads, Dyson appliances and more!
OMRON aims to build a community of health-aware individuals, whereby the health of everyone is regularly monitored and action can be taken at the right time for those with heart conditions, especially hypertension and other related heart conditions.
