Runkeeper Now Compatible With The Withings Blood Pressure Monitor

RunKeeper has been busy lately partnering with a number of other companies to enable their iPhone app to track everything from exercise to weight and even sleep. They have now announced that their mobile app made for tracking your exercise by GPS is compatible with the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor.

This addition extends the capabilty of Runkeeper to not only track your exercise frequency and distance, but now adds the extra metric of blood pressure. Members of Runkeeper can log into their profile and view all the running, walking or cycling history and can now keep a record of blood pressure over time. 

To use the blood pressure monitor it goes around your arm and plugs it into your iPhone/iPad/iPod. You can select to either take a single measurement or there's another mode that takes three measurements in a row to get a more accurate average. The Systole, Diastole and BPM, are then saved so you don't have to worry about manually updating your health overview from day to day.
