Useful Tips

Here are helpful tips to make the most of "Blood Pressure Time" and the Apple Health app.

Export Blood Pressure Data as PDF

While the app doesn't have a direct export feature, you can use the Apple Health app's functionality to export your blood pressure data as a PDF.

Turn on "Health Integration" in Blood Pressure Time app settings
Open the "Health" app on your iPhone
Tap the "🔍" in the bottom right, then select "Heart"
Tap "Blood Pressure"
Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap "Export as PDF"
In the PDF preview screen, tap the export icon in the upper right and select a sharing method

                                Use Cases: Show blood pressure trends to your doctor during visits, or print as a physical blood pressure log.
                            

Share Health Data with Others

Prerequisites

To share health data, the person you want to share with must be registered in your contacts.

Tap "Sharing", then do one of the following:

Tap "Share", then tap "Done"

You'll receive a notification when the invitation is accepted.

Share Health Data with Your Doctor

You can share health data (heart rate, exercise time, sleep time, lab results, heart health notifications, etc.) with your doctor. Your doctor can view the data on their health records system dashboard (US only, available with systems that support health app data sharing with medical institutions).

Setup Method (iOS 26 Compatible)

Open the Apple Health app on your iPhone
Tap "Sharing" at the bottom of the screen
Do one of the following:
- For first-time sharing: Tap "Share with Your Doctor"
- To share with additional medical institutions: Tap "Share with Another Doctor"
Tap "Next", then select a medical institution candidate or use "Search" to find a medical institution
If "Connect to Account" appears, enter the username and password you use for your account's patient web portal, then follow the instructions displayed on the screen. When you share health data or connect to an account, the health records from that account are downloaded to "Health".
Select the topics you want to share with your doctor
Scroll down to view all topics on the screen, then tap "Next" to display the next screen
Tap "Share", then tap "Done"

Request Health Data Sharing from Others

Setup Method (iOS 26 Compatible)

Open the Apple Health app on your iPhone
Tap "Sharing", then tap "Ask Someone to Share"
Select sharing options

The person you selected will receive a request and can then choose which health information to share. Let them know that you need to be in their contacts.

                                Use Case: Convenient when you want to know the health information of parents living far away.
                            

Stop Sharing Data with Contacts or Medical Institutions

Setup Method (iOS 26 Compatible)

Open the Apple Health app on your iPhone
Tap "Sharing" at the bottom of the screen
Tap the name of the person or medical institution
Tap "Stop Sharing" or "Remove Account"

                                Note: Once you start sharing data with someone, simply removing them from "Contacts" will not stop the information sharing.
