Heart health with your handheld (continued)
This brief review of blood pressure trackers for Palm OS actually reflects the common situation on the retail software market. The majority of the programs are poor, some software is semi-functional, and only few applications are the must-have jewels. I hope that the comparison table in Figure H will help you make the right decision when choosing the blood pressure tracking program for your personal use.

Unfortunately, none of the software samples supports direct acquiring of values from a blood pressure monitor machine via Bluetooth, infrared, or another specialized interface. That would be the real killer application. I hope the dreams come true soon. Meanwhile, we have to choose from the existing programs. As you see, the decision isn't so easy. If you're ready to spend several dollars to get really handy and professional written software with lots of features, with responsive support, and with regular improvement updates, you should definitely choose from commercial titles. Your heart is worth it. I hope that the next time you visit your doctor, you'll be able to impress him with how clear your readings look on your Palm handheld.
Your health!
