Tensana - How it works

Sign in

Before you can use Tensana, you must register. You will need to provide your email address. To make sure that it really is your address, we will send you an email with a confirmation link. Click it to activate your account. Only then can you sign in and use the app or website. Unfortunately, this somewhat cumbersome step is necessary because the PDF reports are also sent by email to the address on file. We need to be sure that these emails are wanted and that no one enters someone else's address as a joke.

By the way, each registration applies to both the app and the website. You can alternate between the two or use the app on multiple devices. This is particularly useful if your phone stops working, as you will still have access to all your data.

Note: You can also use the app as a guest by selecting "Use without signing in." No registration is required, and your use will then be anonymous. However, the PDF report cannot be sent by email because no address is stored. You will also be unable to access your data from different devices.

Measure

Take a measurement using your existing upper-arm or wrist blood pressure monitor. No special device is required. If you do not yet have a monitor, inexpensive models are readily available from retailers. The app also supports monitors that connect directly via Bluetooth.

Record

To record a measurement, simply enter the values. The date and time are preset to the current values, but you can change them as needed to add older readings. You can use the on-screen keyboard or a "dial" to enter the values. When entering your blood pressure and pulse using the dial, your previous average is used as the default. This means that only a few adjustments are often necessary. The pulse can also be left blank.

If you use a Bluetooth monitor, the data is recorded automatically, so you can skip this step.

If desired, you can add a comment and exclude a measurement from the analysis. This is useful, for example, for measurements taken immediately after strenuous activities.

Analyze

When you open it, you immediately see the most recent days for which data was recorded. However, you can change the time period almost however you like. Dedicated buttons let you display the last 7, 30, or 90 days with a single click.

Tips

Average over time

For a long period with many values, it is useful to display the data using the Statistical average over time option. This shows you your average and how it changes over time.

Events

You can enter doctor's appointments or medication changes as an event . To do so, save an additional entry under New entry and enter the date and time of the respective event in the comments field . Leave the other fields blank.

Medication

You can record your medication use. If you enter your supply, Tensana automatically calculates how long it will last.

PDF report

You can generate a PDF report to show the data to your doctor.
It contains clearly presented statistics and charts. The document can easily be sent by email or printed.
