The Vitalist Health Band provides estimates and measurements to support your everyday health awareness. Like other wearable devices, it may sometimes show a reading that does not match how you feel.
Your well-being comes first. Do not ignore how you feel because of a reading from the band.
Why might a reading be different?
Readings can be affected by several factors, including:
Movement or physical activity.
A loose or incorrectly positioned band.
Dirty sensors or skin between the sensors and your wrist.
Cold hands or reduced blood flow.
Tattoos or darker skin beneath the sensor area.
Wrist movement or bending, especially during certain activities.
Other conditions that affect how well the sensors can collect information.
For example, blood oxygen (SpO₂) readings are generally collected when you have been very still for at least five minutes. If you are moving, talking, or travelling in a vehicle, a reading may be delayed or unavailable.
What should I do?
Check that the band is positioned correctly and comfortably.
Make sure the sensors on the underside of the band are clean and touching your skin.
Allow time for the app to sync and refresh.
If you have questions about a reading, contact your care team.
Vitalist Support can help with technical issues, such as missing readings or syncing problems, but cannot interpret readings or advise you about your health.
Important: Do not change medication or treatment based only on readings from the band. If you feel unwell, contact your care team or seek medical help as appropriate. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.
