All features·Logging
Logging a reading.
One or two readings per entry. Optional pulse. A note field if you want one. Doubles are averaged automatically and the raw pair is kept.

What this is.
Single or double
One reading per entry, or two. If you log two, the average is what shows up on the chart and in the doctor summary.
Pulse, optional
Add a pulse number if your cuff shows one. Skip the field if it doesn't.
Notes
Free-text note per reading. Searchable later from the history screen.

How it works.
How it works
The entry form has two modes. Single takes one systolic / diastolic pair plus an optional pulse and stores it as-is. Double takes two pairs back-to-back and averages them, which is what most guidelines recommend for a home reading.
The averaged numbers are what every other surface reads from — the home screen, the history list, the doctor summary, the CSV export. The original pair is kept in the database so you can see the individual numbers later if you want to.
Inputs are bounded: systolic and diastolic accept 30 to 300, pulse accepts 20 to 250. Anything outside that range is rejected with an inline error.
What it doesn’t do
- Offline queue.The form doesn’t save readings while the device is offline. A queued reading with the wrong timestamp is worse than retrying when you have signal.
- Bluetooth cuff sync.Mapigo doesn’t pair with consumer cuffs. The protocols are inconsistent and the failure mode is a logged reading that wasn’t yours.
- Weight / mood / weather on the same form. Those live on the triggers screen, so a single reading stays under fifteen seconds.
- Streaks.Missing a day shouldn’t feel like losing.
Common questions
Why does (118, 119) round to 119 instead of 118?
Round-half-up. The default in many languages is banker's rounding, which would round 118.5 down to 118. On a long-running chart that bias is small but consistent. Round-half-up matches what most clinicians write on paper.
Can I edit a reading after I save it?
Yes. Open it from history to change the numbers, the time, or the note. The averages re-compute on save.
What if my cuff shows something outside the input range?
Re-check the cuff. The bounds are wide on purpose; numbers outside them are almost always input errors.
