More great news for accurate blood pressure measurement!  Following similar BP device guidelines from the [American Heart Association, American Pharmacists Association, American Medical Association, and the US Center for Disease Control](https://www.dropbox.com/s/2i2276z3egbgvph/BP%20Kiosk%20Validity%20Comparison%202018.pdf?dl=0), Hypertension Canada has formally announced the launch of its “Recommended Device Program”, which is based on published clinical evidence (not unsubstantiated manufacturer claims).  

PharmaSmart is proud to be the **ONLY** kiosk device listed, and one of a handful of devices to earn “GOLD” status recommendation. Key opinion leaders agree: patient blood pressure data is not actionable, and should NOT reside in the clinical patient record, unless it is sourced from an independently validated device. Common recreational kiosks ***do not*** withstand professional scrutiny and cannot support professional pharmacy programs.
