Understanding Results

Blood Pressure Categories (American Heart Association):

Category	Systolic (mmHg)	Diastolic (mmHg)
Normal	Less than 120	and Less than 80
Elevated	120-129	and Less than 80
Hypertension Stage 1	130-139	or 80-89
Hypertension Stage 2	140 or higher	or 90 or higher
Hypertensive Crisis	Higher than 180	and/or Higher than 120

Symbol Indicators: Hypertension symbol appears if systolic ≥135 or diastolic ≥85. Irregular heartbeat symbol appears if irregular rhythm detected during measurement. Body movement symbol appears if excessive movement detected.

Memory Function
