Track Steps, Sleep and Resting Heart Rate Alongside Your Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar
Free printable blood pressure log (PDF)
Blood pressure and blood sugar do not live in isolation. A bad night of sleep, a low step count or a rising resting heart rate often shows up in your readings a day or two later. Blood Snap now shows steps, sleep and resting heart rate next to your BP and glucose, so you can see the pattern instead of guessing.
What is new on the dashboard
Open More Health and switch on any of Steps, Sleep orResting heart rate. Blood Snap asks for read access in Apple Health or Health Connect the first time. From then on, the dashboard shows a card for each metric you switched on, for the day you are looking at.
The dashboard also has two layouts. Detailed keeps the large cards, one per row.Compact shows two per row, which suits a smaller screen or a quick glance. Switch between them in Settings → Preferences → Dashboard layout.
Steps
Your daily step total from Apple Health or Health Connect appears on the dashboard and in the history line for that day. No manual entry, no extra app. If your phone or watch already counts steps, Blood Snap just reads them.
Sleep
Sleep duration comes from your tracker. Blood Snap reads the asleep minutes for the night that ends on the day you are viewing, and merges overlapping records so a phone and a watch counting the same night do not double count.
No tracker? Open More Health → Sleep log and type in how long you slept. The log now shows stats (average, best, worst and total across your nights) and a trend chart, so you can see whether your sleep is improving.
Resting heart rate
The daily average resting heart rate appears on the dashboard and in history. In Insightsit is charted under the blood pressure chart, so you can compare it with systolic and diastolic over the same period.
Privacy
These values are read when you view them. They are not copied into Blood Snap storage, not sent to Groq and not part of cloud sync. Manual sleep entries you type are stored only on your device. Health sync (writing your BP, glucose, weight or sleep to Apple Health or Health Connect) is a Blood Snap Pro feature and is off until you turn it on.
Why this matters for BP and sugar
Sleep under six hours, a drop in daily steps and a rising resting heart rate are three of the most common early signs that a reading will drift. Seeing them on the same screen as your BP and glucose makes it easier to spot the link before it becomes a clinic visit.
