ADC @Home Help Center

Track your blood pressure, connect your monitor, and share your readings with your doctor. Pick your phone above and the steps below will match it.

Getting started

ADC @Home records your blood pressure over time so you can see trends and share them with your doctor. There are three ways to get a reading into the app.

1. Background sync. Take a reading on a monitor you have already connected, and it arrives in the app on its own. This is the easiest way.
2. Guided Reading. The app walks you through the measurement step by step, with a breathing exercise to help you settle before the cuff inflates.
3. Manual entry. Type in numbers from any monitor using the + button on the Home screen.

You do not need a Bluetooth monitor to use the app. You can skip connecting one and enter every reading by hand.

Your account

ADC @Home uses an email address and a password.

Sign in

The app opens on Sign in to continue. Enter your email and password, then tap Sign In. Tap the eye icon beside the password if you want to check what you typed. The Sign In button stays greyed out until both boxes have something in them.

New here? Tap Sign Up at the bottom.

Create an account

Open the app. At the bottom of the sign-in screen, next to Don't have an account?, tap Sign Up. The Create Account screen opens.

Fill in three things:

1. Email. This is what you will sign in with, and where a password reset would be sent. Use an address you can get to.
2. Password. At least 8 characters. As you type, a meter rates it Weak, Good, or Strong. Tap the eye icon to check what you typed.
3. Confirm Password. Type the same password again. The screen tells you Passwords match as soon as the two agree, so you do not have to guess.

Then tick I agree to the Terms of Service. Tap Terms of Service to read them first if you want. This box is required, and the Create Account button stays greyed out until you tick it.

Tap Create Account. The app takes you straight into setting up your first profile.

Already signed up? Tap Sign In at the bottom of the same screen to go back.

If you forget your password

Tap Forgot Password? on the sign-in screen and enter your email. You will get a reset link. If it does not arrive within a few minutes, check your spam folder.

Setting up the app

Once you have an account, the app walks you through the rest of setup in order.

1. Set up Profile 1. This one is required.
2. Add Profile 2 if a second person shares the monitor. You can skip this.
3. Connect your monitor. Follow the prompts on screen, or see Connect your monitor for the full steps for your model. You can skip this and do it later.

Both of the optional steps can be done later, from Settings. Skipping the monitor does not limit the app. You can still enter every reading by hand.

When setup finishes

If you connected a monitor, setup ends on a Device Connected! screen. It confirms your monitor is ready to sync readings automatically, and gives you three places to go next.

• Take First Reading starts a Guided Reading straight away, so you can check the connection works.
• Take a Tour runs a short walkthrough of the app's four tabs.
• Go to Dashboard takes you to the Home screen.

None of these is a commitment. Whichever you pick, you end up in the same app, and you can run the tour later.

To run the walkthrough at any time, go to Settings › App Tour.

Profiles

One account holds up to two profiles, so two people in a household can share one monitor. Only a first name is required. Last name, date of birth, gender, height, and weight are all optional.

Each profile keeps its own readings, goals, reminders, and health sync setting. They are completely separate. Only one profile is active at a time, and the active profile is the one whose data you see and whose readings get saved.

Switching between profiles

The quickest way is from the Home screen. Tap the profile picture at the top, and the Switch Profile chooser opens. Pick the person you want. The profile you are currently using is marked as active.

You can also switch from Settings › Profile, which is where you go to add a second profile or edit the details of either one.

Switch profiles before you take a reading, not after. A reading is saved to whichever profile was active at the time.

Connect your monitor

ADC @Home works with two monitors: the Advantage Connect 6024N arm cuff and the Advantage Connect 6115 wrist monitor. They connect differently, so start by checking which one you have. The model number is printed next to REF on the device.

Where to start

Pairing happens in the device manager, and there are two ways in:

• On the Home screen, tap My Devices, the card labelled Manage and pair devices.
• Or go to Settings › My Devices.

Both open the same screen. Tap Add New Device and pick your model.

If you have not connected anything yet, the Home screen also shows a No Device Connected banner. Tapping Tap to Connect Device on that banner is a shortcut to the same place. The banner disappears once a monitor is paired.

Before you start

• Turn Bluetooth on.
• Keep the monitor within about 3 feet of your phone.
• Allow the app to use Bluetooth when it asks.

Advantage Connect 6024N, the arm cuff

1. In the app, choose to connect a device, then pick the 6024N Arm Cuff.
2. On the cuff, press the SET button. This turns it on and puts it in connect mode.
3. The app finds the cuff. Tap it.
4. Your stored readings sync across, and the cuff disconnects by itself. There is nothing else to press.

A short code may appear on the cuff's screen while this happens. That is normal, and you can ignore it.

Advantage Connect 6115, the wrist monitor

1. In the app, choose to connect a device, then pick the 6115 Wrist Monitor.
2. On the wrist unit, press and hold the power button until the Bluetooth icon flashes.
3. In the app, tap Pair Device.
4. Your phone shows a pairing request. Confirm it.
5. The wrist unit then walks you through setting its date format, time, and volume.

From then on, each new reading you take syncs as you take it.

Take a reading

Guided Reading

Tap Guided Reading on the Home screen. The app reminds you to sit comfortably, rest your arm or wrist at heart level, and relax for a few minutes. Then it waits for your monitor. Press the power button on the device when the app asks. While the measurement runs, a breathing animation helps you stay still. Your result appears when it finishes.

Manual entry

Tap the + button on the Home screen and type your numbers in. Enter your systolic (the top number) and diastolic (the bottom number). Pulse is optional.

If a number is outside the range a blood pressure monitor can produce, the app tells you underneath the box and will not let you save until you fix it.

You can also set the date and time, add a comment, and mark the reading with MAM or IHB if your monitor showed them. Readings you type in are labelled Manual so you can tell them apart later.

Edit or delete a reading

Tap any reading in your history to open it, then tap edit. You can correct the numbers, the date and time, or the comment. Delete Reading sits at the bottom of the edit screen.

To remove several at once, open History, tap Edit, tick the readings you want gone, and tap Delete.

Deleting a reading cannot be undone.

Your history

The History tab shows a trend chart above your readings, grouped by day. The chart plots systolic, diastolic, and pulse, and you can scroll it sideways to move back through time.

Because longer ranges average your readings together, a single high reading looks less dramatic on the 6M chart than on 24H. That is expected.

Filters

Tap the filter icon to narrow the list by blood pressure category, time of day, pulse range, or to show only readings marked with an irregular heartbeat or taken as an average.

Understanding your numbers

The app colours every reading by category, following the American Heart Association's guidelines.

MAM and IHB

MAM stands for Multiple Average Measurement. Your monitor takes three readings in a row and reports the average, which is usually more reliable than a single measurement.

IHB means the monitor detected an irregular heartbeat while measuring. A single IHB flag is not unusual. If it shows up regularly, mention it to your doctor.

Goals

Set a weekly goal for how many days you want to take a reading, from one day up to every day. The Goals tab then tracks your progress with a ring, a monthly calendar, and your current and longest streaks.

Five days a week is a good starting point for most people. Set the goal to zero days if you would rather not track one at all.

When you hit your goal, the app offers a card you can share. Nothing is shared unless you tap to share it.

Reminders

Go to Settings › BP Reminders to schedule a nudge to take a reading. Choose a time, pick which days it repeats, and give it a label such as "after breakfast".

You can have up to three reminders per profile. To add a fourth, delete one first.

Reminders need permission to send you notifications. If you turned notifications down earlier, the app shows a banner with a link to fix it in your phone's settings.

Share with your doctor

You can export your readings from the share icon on the History tab, or from Settings › Manage Readings.

• PDF report. A formatted report with your averages, your highest and lowest readings, a breakdown by category, and the full list. This is the one to bring to an appointment.
• CSV spreadsheet. A data file you can open in a spreadsheet, and import back into ADC @Home later.

Choose a date range of the last 7, 30, or 90 days, all time, or a custom range you pick. The export covers the active profile only.

Sending the file

Once the file is ready, your phone's own sharing screen opens. ADC @Home hands the file to your phone and steps out of the way, so what you see there are your phone's options, not the app's.

That means the choices depend on which apps you have installed. Most people will see mail and messaging apps, an option to save to files or cloud storage, and printing. If you use a particular app to send things to your doctor, share to it from here the same way you would from any other app.

Nothing leaves your phone until you pick a destination. Closing the sharing screen cancels it, and the export is discarded.

Back up and restore

Export a CSV and keep it somewhere safe. That file is your backup.

To restore it, go to Settings › Manage Readings › Import from CSV and choose the file. The app shows you what it found before anything is saved, including how many rows it could not read.

• Only CSV files exported from ADC @Home will import.
• Readings you already have are skipped automatically, so importing the same file twice will not create duplicates.
• You choose which profile the readings go into. To import into a second profile, create that profile first.

Health app sync

ADC @Home can copy your readings into your phone's health app. This is a one-way street. The app sends readings out, and never reads anything back. You turn it on separately for each profile.

Manage your monitors

Open the device manager from the My Devices card on the Home screen, or from Settings › My Devices. It lists the monitors you have connected. From there you can add another with Add New Device, forget a monitor, open the troubleshooting guide, or read the tips page for your specific model.

When a monitor's memory is full, the oldest reading is overwritten. Readings already in the app are not affected.

Troubleshooting

Work through these in order. The app has the same guide built in, under Settings › My Devices › Troubleshooting.

Your privacy

Your readings stay on your phone. They are not uploaded to ADC's servers.

Your profile details, such as your name and date of birth, do sync to the cloud, so your profile can move with you if you sign in on another phone. Your readings do not travel with it.

If you turn on health app sync, readings are written into your phone's own health app. ADC @Home never reads data back out of it.

Because your readings live on your phone and nowhere else, an exported CSV is the only way to move them to a new phone or recover them. Export one from time to time if that matters to you.

Delete your account

Go to Settings › Account › Delete Account. You will be asked to type your password again to confirm it is you.

Still need help

When you get in touch, it helps to know which monitor you have, the 6024N arm cuff or the 6115 wrist monitor, and exactly which step goes wrong.

ADC @Home is a tool for tracking your blood pressure. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always talk to your physician about your readings.
