I went to see my cardiologist for a follow up visit today. They asked I was a computer person and was able to send a log to them of my blood pressure reading.
I said no problem, I am am a long time geek. I can't just email it to them, it has to go through a portal system that has all my medical records for all visits from all the doctors. I don't mess with that type of crap on my phone with a tiny hand held device when I have a real computer and a 27 inch monitor right in front of me.
So I had to export the file as a Excel file from the BP monitor to my email. Then I had to print it is a PDF or JPG file as they don't take text, or Excel. As if a PDF or JPG can't have an embedded virus or worm.
Next visit, I may just print it out and do it like an analog man. I would no be surprised to find out they then scan it, and use OCR to convert it to text for the archive. Whatever, I made it work.
