Walgreens integrates blood pressure app Qardio into Balance Rewards API

DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens last week announced the latest integration of its Balance Rewards API with Qardio. Qardio's clinically validated smart blood pressure monitor, QardioArm, is available in a variety of colors and works wirelessly with either an iOS or Android device. 

 

The free Qardio App stores blood pressure readings, helps set measurement reminders, encourages users to keep their blood pressure in check and share progress with others.  

 

“We are very excited to work with Walgreens Balance Rewards to encourage users to become more actively involved in their health and wellness,” stated Rosario Iannella, chief information officer of Qardio. “Qardio’s mission has always been to empower people to take more active role in their health monitoring and prevention by designing modern, exciting devices that people actually want to use. Walgreens Balance Rewards builds on this by further engaging and incentivizing the user to become an active participant in their heart health.”
