Log your blood pressure and symptoms like headache, blurred vision or sudden swelling, and get an alert by level during pregnancy and the 6 weeks after birth. Each food is weighed against your condition.
During pregnancy and the 6 weeks after birth, a top number of 140 or more or a bottom number of 90 or more raises a SEE A DOCTOR SOON alert; 160 or 110 or more is MEDICAL EMERGENCY. With warning symptoms, from 140 or 90 it is already MEDICAL EMERGENCY. You measure and enter the value.
With high blood pressure, the app asks about a severe headache that will not go away, blurred vision or spots, sharp pain in the upper abdomen, shortness of breath and seizures. The list comes from Cleveland Clinic and ACOG.
During pregnancy and the 6 weeks after birth, these three symptoms raise a SEE A DOCTOR SOON alert (possible pre-eclampsia, per the NHS): sudden swelling, a severe headache that does not go away with simple painkillers, and blurred vision. Abdominal pain in pregnancy has its own rule too.
When you add preeclampsia to your profile, Cognia marks the pregnancy and asks for the weeks, so it keeps track and from week 38 asks whether the baby has arrived. Once you log the birth, the preeclampsia alerts stay on for 6 weeks: it can appear in the weeks after birth (MedlinePlus, NHS). If you add it after the birth, it does not mark the pregnancy again.
The traffic light weighs a food from your preeclampsia, with the reason and, where there is one, the source. Preparation counts: the catalogue tells apart the preparations of the same food. It informs; it never forbids.
With Premium, schedule reminders to measure your blood pressure at a fixed time or every set number of hours.
Choose an emergency contact. If something reaches MEDICAL EMERGENCY, they are alerted right away; if they chose it, URGENT CHECK-UP alerts too. Cognia does not call emergency services: it shows your country’s number and the button opens the dialler.
With Premium, period analytics and a PDF report with your blood pressure readings and symptoms, to take to your obstetrician.
