Does this also monitor heart rate. I'm looking for something to monitor heart rate, as well as blood pressure.

------------------------
I've heard the independence market   sells one. We're looking for one
too. We recently tried one from HSN, but it never worked. We've tried
2 now, both going  back. If we find one that works, I'll let you know.

Hi. I just bought a pit boss smoker. I'm looking for 2 things. looking for a
talking meat thermometer and a thermometer that will tell me the temperature
of the smoker. I'm totally blind and do have an I pad.

You can set the temperature on the smoker, but I'd like to check it once in
a while anyway. Thanks for the help.
