A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Cheap, yes. But these "at home" gadgets can't replace a quick visit to the doctor... Which is why I think there is a target market. People don't like going to the doctor. They think they can self diagnose or they want to save money and time. My partner's family is the type that would buy this. A visit to the doctor is free here, but they think they know more.
On a side note, I'm nearly 40 and still don't know what good or bad blood pressure is.
