Systolic pressure
The upper number shows pressure when the heart pushes blood into circulation. It can react to stress, effort, caffeine and long-term blood-pressure status.
BPBIO750 monitor
Now availableFast blood pressure and pulse testing in Prague.
The BPBIO750 monitor in Prague adds a basic blood-pressure and pulse layer to InBody. It fits well when you want to see systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse and a few derived values alongside body-composition and other measurements.
BPBIO750 blood pressure testing is now available in Prague. It joins the measurement offer next to InBody and Max Pulse, and you can add it straight to your visit.

Overview
What the monitor shows
At first glance it is a simple measurement, but it helps to know what each number means. One value alone is not the whole story, while repeat testing in context can be very useful.
Diastolic pressure
The lower number shows pressure between beats. It adds context about vascular resistance during the resting phase of the cycle.
Pulse and pulse graph
The output also includes heart rate and a pulse graph. Together with blood pressure, it helps show whether the state is calm, activated or unsettled.
MAP, PP and RPP
MAP is mean arterial pressure, PP is pulse pressure and RPP roughly reflects cardiac workload from pressure plus pulse. Useful additions, not diagnoses.
Process
How the test works
The test is quick and non-invasive. The biggest difference in quality comes from a calm body state and correct position during cuff inflation.
During the test the arm stays relaxed inside the cuff and the body stays still.
1. Short rest
Sit quietly for a few minutes before the test. Blood pressure reacts quickly to stairs, walking, stress and conversation.
2. Arm into the cuff
The arm goes into the cuff inside the device and stays relaxed. Try not to tense your shoulders or lean forward.
3. Inflation and reading
The cuff inflates automatically, the device reads pressure and pulse and prints the result within moments.
4. Read in context
The value makes the most sense next to other measurements, your current state and repeat tests on different days.
Results
What the result includes
The printout is not only upper and lower pressure. Several simple values work best when read together.
The printout includes systolic, diastolic, pulse and supporting values.
Systolic and diastolic
The main pair of numbers. It answers what the pressure is during blood ejection and what it is between beats.
- systolic pressure
- diastolic pressure
- mmHg unit
Heart rate
Pulse adds context about how fast the heart is working at that moment. A higher rate after stress or movement may not be a problem, but it changes interpretation.
- heart rate
- quick resting pulse picture
- useful together with Max Pulse
Derived values
PP, MAP and RPP help read pulse-pressure width, average pressure load and the combination of pressure with heart rate.
- PP = pulse pressure
- MAP = mean arterial pressure
- RPP = rate pressure product
Blood pressure is an add-on to InBody. Measure both in one visit.
Create your account in advance and keep both your InBody and blood pressure results in history within the same visit context.
Result
How to read results reasonably
Blood pressure is sensitive to current state. One high or low value is not automatically a problem, but it should not always be ignored either. Trend, symptoms and context matter.
One higher value may not be your long-term level
Stress, hurry, coffee, smoking, a full bladder or brisk walking just before the test can raise blood pressure for a while.
Trend matters more than chance
If higher or lower values repeat under similar conditions, they carry more weight than a one-off fluctuation.
With symptoms is different from without symptoms
A mildly elevated reading without symptoms is different from a marked deviation together with headache, chest pressure, shortness of breath or dizziness.
Suspicious results need follow-up
Repeatedly high pressure, very low pressure with weakness or unusual symptoms belong with a physician. This test does not replace care.
InBody diagnostics
How it fits into our offer
Each device answers a different layer of the picture. The most useful view comes from reading them as complementary measurements, not substitutes.
InBody 970/970S
Body composition, muscle, fat, water, segmental detail and trend tracking over time.
BPBIO750 monitor
Blood pressure, pulse and a quick resting pressure picture.
Preparation
How to prepare for a cleaner reading
Blood pressure changes quickly. If you want a reading that compares well with future visits, a simple routine helps a lot.
- Sit quietly for a few minutes before testing.
- Do not eat, smoke, exercise or drink coffee or energy drinks right before the test; about 30 minutes of distance works best.
- Use the restroom before the measurement, because a full bladder can raise blood pressure.
- Do not talk or move during the test.
- Sit with back support, feet on the floor and a relaxed arm inside the cuff.
- For comparisons over time, try to measure at a similar time of day and under similar conditions.

Blood pressure FAQ
Is one reading enough?
It is enough for a quick orientation, but repeat readings and context are much more useful. Blood pressure changes during the day and with the situation.
What does high diastolic pressure mean?
Higher diastolic pressure should be read in context with the full result, repeat testing and symptoms. One stressed reading may not equal a long-term issue, but repeated higher values deserve follow-up.
Can stress on site raise the result?
Yes. Hurry, nervousness or conversation right before the test can temporarily raise blood pressure.
Does it make sense to add blood pressure to body composition?
Yes. InBody and the blood pressure monitor complement each other well in the same visit context. Alongside body composition you immediately see pressure and pulse in one overview.
What do MAP, PP and RPP mean?
They are derived values from pressure and pulse. They expand the basic systolic/diastolic pair, but they do not diagnose by themselves.
When should I talk to a doctor?
With repeatedly high or low blood pressure, known hypertension or when the result comes with headache, shortness of breath, chest pressure, weakness or dizziness.
How does this relate to Max Pulse?
The blood pressure monitor gives the core pressure picture. Max Pulse adds HRV, pulse-wave, vascular elasticity and stress-regulation context.
