Do you know your blood pressure numbers? 💚

Blood pressure is more than a number you get at a doctor’s appointment. Tracking your readings over time can help you recognize patterns and give you useful information to discuss with your healthcare team.

The Ames Foundation’s Know Your Numbers web app gives you a simple place to record your health information, learn what your numbers mean, and prepare for conversations about your health.

💚 Track your health. Be informed. Be aware.

No special equipment from us is required—if you already monitor your blood pressure at home, you can start tracking today.
