Why Consistent Tracking is the Foundation of Hypertension Management
Hypertension is often called the "silent killer" because it rarely causes obvious symptoms. Most people only discover it during a routine checkup - and a single clinic reading may not reflect your true day-to-day blood pressure.
Home tracking over weeks gives you and your doctor data that clinic visits simply cannot provide. It shows whether your medication is working, reveals triggers that spike your readings, and catches the 20-30% of people whose blood pressure only rises at the doctor's office.
Cardilog makes that tracking effortless. Log in seconds, understand your numbers with AI insights, and walk into every appointment with weeks of real-world data.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hypertension and when is blood pressure considered high?
Hypertension is persistently elevated blood pressure. The American Heart Association defines Stage 1 hypertension as readings of 130/80 mmHg or higher, and Stage 2 hypertension as 140/90 mmHg or higher. A single high reading does not confirm hypertension; your doctor will look at consistent readings over time.
How does tracking help manage hypertension?
Tracking gives you and your doctor an accurate picture that clinic visits alone cannot provide. It shows whether medication is working, reveals times of day when pressure peaks, identifies lifestyle triggers like poor sleep or high stress, and catches white coat hypertension where readings are only high at the clinic. Home monitoring also improves medication adherence.
How often should someone with hypertension check their blood pressure?
Most guidelines recommend twice daily for people managing hypertension: once in the morning before medication and food, and once in the evening. Take two readings one minute apart and log both. After your blood pressure is well controlled, your doctor may advise a reduced schedule.
What features should a hypertension tracker app have?
Look for: easy logging with timestamps, trend charts over weeks and months, reminder functionality, PDF report export for doctor visits, Apple Health or Google Fit sync, and ideally AI insights to help you understand your data. Cardilog includes all of these.
Is Cardilog suitable for people with diagnosed hypertension?
Yes. Cardilog was designed with hypertension management in mind. It tracks systolic and diastolic readings alongside pulse, allows contextual notes (medication, sleep, stress), generates reports for healthcare providers, and uses AI to surface meaningful insights from your data.
