Hi,
I want to know if someone here had used the ihealth products. I want to know if they are accessible for a blind person. It seems that the apps are accessible, but not completely sure, since I haven't tried them with a device connected to my iPhone. The other question is in regard to the devices. Can a blind person operate them? I don't want to buy one to find out that I can use it because I will need sighted assistance.
Any comments will be really appreciated.

Hi,
Hi,
What exactly are we talking about here. Do you mean fitness trackers? blood pressure machines? I guess I'm at a loss to what you are referring to.
For the fitness trackers, the fitbit is almost 100% usable with VO on an iOS device. The only downside to this is really for pairing the charge HR, that's one of the fitbit trackers to the iPhone, because theres a group of 4 or so digits that you have to enter on the iOS device from the titbit's display. Other than that the device is usable. If you have some usable vision and can read a smallish display the real only downside is the pairing process. For blood pressure machines there's a podcast somewhere on here that talks about a bluetooth machine that connects to the iPhone and you can use it's app to control/read your results and take measurements and it seems usable with VO. I personally don't use this, I just saw a podcast a while back on here.

Thanks for the response. I will check the podcast. iHealth is a brand name of a company that produce health devices for blood pressure monitoring, and glucose meters. Their products are available at a good price, and I want to know the accessibility of their products.
Ah, thanks! I just thought
Ah, thanks! I just thought you meant health apps by other brands. I didn't know about these ones, thanks.
