Hi Daniel,

Thank you for that link. I've stumbled over it a few days ago - it 
actually looks really promising - and very good value! Unfortunately it 
only has a step counter and a heart rate monitor - no blood pressure. 
Similarly, there is a project to interface with the Xiaomi MiBand 
devices from Linux - which again, is really cool. But they don't do 
blood pressure either. It seems that only some select health 
trackers/bands have the blood pressure functionality.

The Xiaomi MiBand Linux software is here:

Thank you again for the suggestion

Sebastian
