In 2005, Omron Healthcare presented the Motivate, Monitor and Measure session at the annual meeting of the American Association of Diabetes Educators. At the conference, specialists spoke about weight management as it relates to diabetes, hypertension and overall wellness. Omron wanted to focus on the importance of motivating to increase activity, monitoring the response and measuring the outcomes.

People with diabetes are faced with a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and heart disease. Omron's commitment to raising awareness about blood pressure, weight and exercise programs is evidenced by the engineering that makes their products among the best in the market for their ease of use and accuracy.

Omron Healthcare's products were used during the presentation to show how patients can motivate themselves and monitor their walking with the HJ-112 Premium Pedometer, as well as monitor and measure their blood pressure with the HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, equipped with the ComFit Cuff, which fits arms 9 to 17 inches, the only cuff which is applicable to 97% of the US adult population and proven to be accurate for obese individuals and the HEM-637 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor outfitted with Automatic Positioning Sensor (A.P.S.), which detects the position of the wrist and guides it to the heart level by sound and display on the monitor. The product lineup has all the whistles and bells a person needs to be motivated to monitor and measure. After all - it's your health we're talking about!
