Write Blood Pressure Data

Your app can record blood pressure data by writing to the com.google.blood_pressure data type. In this data type, each data point represents a single instantaneous blood pressure reading. The data point contains fields for the systolic and diastolic pressure, body position during the reading, and location on the body where the measurement was performed.

  • The systolic and diastolic fields are required, all others are optional.
  • Pressures for systolic (upper number) and diastolic (lower number) are measured in mmHg.
  • If specified, body position must have one of the following values:
    • 1 - standing up
    • 2 - sitting down
    • 3 - lying down
    • 4 - semi-reclined

  • If specified, measurement location must have one of the following values:

    • 1 - left wrist
    • 2 - right wrist
    • 3 - left upper arm
    • 4 - right upper arm

Android

To write a blood pressure data point, create a new DataSource of TYPE_BLOOD_PRESSURE, as shown in the following example.

val bloodPressureSource = DataSource.Builder()
    .setDataType(TYPE_BLOOD_PRESSURE)
    // ...
    .build()

val bloodPressure = DataPoint.builder(bloodPressureSource)
    .setTimestamp(timestamp, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
    .setField(FIELD_BLOOD_PRESSURE_SYSTOLIC, 120.0f)
    .setField(FIELD_BLOOD_PRESSURE_DIASTOLIC, 80.0f)
    .setField(FIELD_BODY_POSITION, BODY_POSITION_SITTING)
    .setField(
        FIELD_BLOOD_PRESSURE_MEASUREMENT_LOCATION,
        BLOOD_PRESSURE_MEASUREMENT_LOCATION_LEFT_UPPER_ARM)
    .build()

Request body

{
  "dataStreamName": "BloodPressure",
  "type": "raw",

Response

If your data source was created successfully, you'll get a 200 OK HTTP response status code. The response body contains a JSON representation of the data source, including a datasource.dataStreamId property. Use this ID as the dataSourceId to add data.
