Blood Pressure Monitoring At Home
BP@Home: Viso
We’re upgrading our Blood Pressure Monitoring app!
This March, the Viso app will be discontinued, and your GP practice will manage your blood pressure through Luscii app. This change will enable your GP to deliver even greater continuity of care to you.
Starting 16 March, we are moving from Viso to a new, improved platform called Luscii.
What do I need to do?
-
If you currently use VISO, your app will automatically prompt you to switch.
-
Simply follow the on-screen instructions to get set up.
-
Don’t worry—all your data remains secure.
Why the change?
Luscii allows our clinical team to monitor your heart health more effectively, providing you with even more personalised care from the comfort of your home. Thank you for your patience as we make this positive upgrade.
Here’s what you need to know for a smooth transition:
Access to Viso ends on March 16th 2026
- After then, you won’t be able to access Viso app.
- There won’t be any new blood pressure check-ins for until the transition from Luscii to Viso is complete.
- If you are currently in a blood pressure check-in, please continue to finish it. Your next check-in will start in Luscii.
Your data is safe
- All your blood pressure and treatment history has been securely synced to the Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) at your GP practice.
- You can also download a copy of your historical data from Viso for your records. The download will be available for 30 days after Viso app is discontinued. After that, all data will be permanently deleted from Viso.
What happens if I don't stay on top of my high blood pressure?
Persistent high blood pressure can increase your risk of some serious and potentially life-threatening health conditions, such as:
- heart disease
- heart attacks
- strokes
- heart failure
- peripheral arterial disease
- aortic aneurysms
- kidney disease
- vascular dementia
Prevention is key: If you have high blood pressure, reducing it even a small amount can help lower your risk of these health conditions.
Advice for taking your own blood pressure
When taking your blood pressure readings, it is important to be relaxed, so avoid taking your blood pressure when stressed, in pain or in a hurry.
