# Best OMRON connect alternatives for any blood pressure monitor (2026)

> If your blood pressure monitor is not an OMRON Bluetooth model, the best OMRON connect alternatives are Apple Health for a free built-in log, SmartBP for a blood pressure app with profiles and Apple Watch, and HealthLog for one iPhone diary of blood pressure, blood sugar, weight and pulse. People look elsewhere because, as Caring Village notes, only OMRON Bluetooth models sync with OMRON connect and the app is listed for the U.S. and Canada. All three accept readings typed in from any monitor. HealthLog adds notes and tags, measurement reminders and PDF and CSV reports made on the device, with no account; Premium is weekly, monthly or lifetime. iHealth MyVitals exports CSV, XLS or PDF but needs an iHealth account. These are logs, not medical advice.

## Questions

### Can I keep using my OMRON cuff with another app?

Yes, by typing the reading from the cuff's screen into Apple Health, SmartBP or HealthLog. Automatic Bluetooth sync is what OMRON connect adds for OMRON models.

### Which OMRON connect alternative exports CSV?

SmartBP and HealthLog both export PDF and CSV, and iHealth MyVitals exports CSV, XLS or PDF. Apple Health exports a blood pressure PDF and a full Health data archive.

### Do I need an account?

Apple Health and HealthLog do not need a separate account. iHealth MyVitals requires an iHealth account.
