Volume I, Issue XV<\/p>\n

As another year comes to a close, we thought it’d be nice to take a look back at where we’d been.\u00a0 It felt busy at the time, but just these highlights drive home why it felt like time was flying!<\/p>\n

We’d also like to take this time to wish happy holidays to all of our fantastic customers and partners, not to mention our dedicated team that makes all these realities come to life.<\/p>\n

Read on to see some of 2018’s highlights.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

January: MORE THAN A MEASUREMENT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A&D Medical started off 2018 with its\u00a0More Than a Measurement campaign<\/a>: \u201cAfter more than four decades in the business of manufacturing precision measurement instruments, we know that our customer\u2019s personal health information is not just numbers,\u201d said Terry Duesterhoeft, CEO of A&D Medical. \u201cRather it is about providing them with the power to make the most informed decisions about their health and their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Behind the campaign, A&D Medical works to ensure consumers have the right devices to address their own personal health requirements. \u00a0The\u00a0A&D Connect app<\/a>\u00a0supports this process with an easy-to-use interface with graphs, reminders, goals, and the ability to share your measurements with your healthcare provider.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

In light of the AHA\u2019s\u00a0new guidelines for blood pressure<\/a>, the number of adults considered to have high blood pressure has increased \u2013 especially among adults under the age of 45 \u2013 and these resources allow people interested in hypertension to learn about the causes and impacts of high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
