!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I have one that records the history on the device; up to 100 entries per user or so. I don’t know if there’s an export option though; I’ve never tried.
If you’re interested, I’ll look it up. I’m not at home for a bit so I can’t just go look at it; I’d need to dig through emails to find the model.
Mine also has 100 logged entries for 3 users. It can display a table or trend line of historical data, and it has a usb port that supposedly can be used to download the log. But if you need a specific driver or software to access the file then I don't know if that violates the "no app" requirement.

I hadn't tried accessing the data externally before and this post got me curious enough to try. The program looks ancient and does not recognize the bp monitor as is. I don't feel like playing the driver hunting and compatibolity mode game. The monitor does not host a standard storage volume so I don't believe the files can be retrieved without the software. I would be tempted to speculate that this is representative of the type of experience to expect if OP doesn't want to go down the bluetooth connection to app route.
Why not just manually log?
Because I'll never keep it up to date. I'll be in a hurry or something and just measure it without recording.
I'd you're in a hurry measuring BP, it's not going to be a good measure. Just a thought
This is a physical cuff?
Put a physical journal on top of it. Write it down and keep those two things together. If you're taking your blood pressure every day already it's not a huge leap to stack a habit on top of it.
I usually shoot a photo. faster and cheaper. why buy something new if you can do it with stuff you already have :)

This looks promising, it lets you collect data from Omron devices. It's from a quick web search so idk any more about it.
One way this is better than manual logging is that it can run while you sleep. That is, you could have it take your BP once an hour all night or whatever. That's done in hospitals all the time. It's uncomfortable so I wouldn't do it routinely, but it might be worthwhile if you suspect something might be up. Obviously, discuss it with your Dr too.
