Advantages and disadvantages of using the study blood pressure devices.

Device	Advantages	Disadvantages
Home BPa monitor	Pb05: “I thought it was so quick and easy to administer, and simple to use.”	P05: “It does rely on the participant to remember to take the readings but as long as they adhere to that...it’s quite a quick process.”
24-hour ambulatory device	P08: “I suppose the positive of that [device] is that it was automatic. Um, it’s probably the only positive.”	P14: “It’s quite stressful to wear, I think it raised my blood pressure (laughs)…because you are just there, waiting every half an hour for it to go [take measurement].”
Wearable device	P13: “If you wear the watch in the morning you’re done for the day.”; P07: “You don’t notice it at all, in terms of it collecting any measurements.”	P02: “I would question…the accuracy of the BP measurement. It just didn’t seem to match up with all the...results from either of the other ones [measurements from other devices].”; P06: “When I was asleep I must have moved my wrist. And you know how it automatically lights up? It woke me up.”
