2.3.2 Trend Chart Page

Users can press the

button to switch to trend chart page to review the BP trend

chart as Fig-10. Users can press the combo box chart to show.

to decide what kind of trend

The trend chart can show at most 15 years’ data. If the data period is over 15 years, the APP will modify the data period to 15 years automatically (based on the latest reading date).

The APP supports the users to zoom in/ zoom out via the touch pad of the MacBook.

According to different data periods, the calculation algorithm of each point is different.

It’s interpretated as below.

Data Period Data Range of each point The value algorithm

<= 7days

A point means one hour The average value within an hour

7~ 180 days A point means one day

The average value within a day

180~3 years A point means one week The average value within a week

3~15 years A point means one month The average value within a month

In addition, if the pulse is out of the normal range or a comment has been added, the circle will be shown on the bottom of the chart as below.

Fig12

It’s explained as below.

Circle colors Interpretation

(Red)

If a red circle appears,

it means the heart rate

is abnormal.
