How to Check Vitals Signs at Home

Learn how to check yours or someone else's vital signs at home with this easy-to-follow video with our Medical Director Dr. Katrina Mattingly. Dr. Mattingly explains how, with a vital-signs monitor, you can check your blood pressure, pulse, and possibly even the oxygen levels in your blood from anywhere including your own home.

In addition to a traditional vitals monitor, you can use any kind of fitness tracking or smart device with the proper capability to monitor pulse rate and other vital signs. The third and final way to check your vitals outside of a medical facility is the traditional two-finger method using a watch.
