The company launched the product-specific website for medical professionals to provide information critical for clinical accuracy and preventing common errors in clinical blood pressure monitoring.
Microlife’s professional website provides vital information for medical professionals to help them choose medical devices that comply with international guidelines for accuracy and help them diagnose hypertensive patients correctly. It is believed more than 970 million people suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure worldwide. Less than 25% of patients are being adequately managed (1). Recent studies show that errors increase when medical professionals use conventional methods for measuring blood pressure and base their diagnosis and treatment on conventional assessment.
“This unique set of solutions including the new website will act as key sources of critical BP monitoring information for professionals around the world,” said Ty-Minh Tan, Chief Marketing Officer of Microlife.
The Microlife site is simple to navigate and uses graphics to give browsers a clear picture of the available products, as well as simple narrative to explain product designs, benefits and validations.
