Easy to use, Index BPM is an all-in-one solution to view blood pressure readings alongside other Garmin health and fitness data in the Garmin Connect app

OLATHE, Kan./March 17, 2026/PR Newswire — Garmin (NYSE: GRMN), today announced Index™ BPM, its first smart blood pressure monitor that lets users measure and track systolic and diastolic blood pressure at home or on the go1, is now available to customers in Canada. The compact, all-in-one upper arm blood pressure monitor features an integrated display so readings can be viewed immediately after they’re taken. 

“Garmin is a trusted name in the health and fitness industry, and we are excited to make Index BPM available to those in Canada as another tool to help our customers stay on top of their health. When using Index BPM as part of the larger Garmin ecosystem, all health and fitness data can be viewed right in Garmin Connect, helping to provide a more complete look at overall health in one app.”

Delivering accurate blood pressure and heart rate readings when used correctly, Index BPM can be used as a stand-alone device and includes an integrated display to quickly view measurements. Additionally, users can use Wi-Fi®technology to sync their Index BPM blood pressure readings to Garmin Connect™. Through the Garmin Connect app2, users can also view their measurement history and trends alongside other health stats, set up reminders to take their blood pressure and view those readings in 7-day, 4-week and 1-year reports. The reports can even be exported as a PDF to be shared with a health care provider.

Featuring an adjustable cuff, Index BPM is made to fit a wide range of arm sizes – from 9-17 inches (22-42 cm) in circumference. What’s more, up to 16 users can keep track of their individual readings from Index BPM and sync the data to their own Garmin Connect account.
