## Supported Blood Pressure Metrics/Data
- Systolic - mmHg
- Diastolic - mmHg
- Pulse - bpm

#### :info: Primary Goal:
The “primary goal” is the goal that determines which metrics or readings are in and out of range visually from the clinician dashboard. A single goal of this type must be present within the program in order for dashboard visuals (logbook and charts) to display readings or individual metrics as in or out of range. The “primary goal” is added by default when a new program is created with the corresponding measurement type.
“Keep [#] day average blood pressure level below [systolic]/[diastolic] mmHg”
*Default goal*
Measurement Type: `Blood Pressure - Combined`
Goal Type: `Average Reading Limit`
Goal Usage: `Reviewer Cannot Disable`
“Keep all blood pressure level below [systolic]/[diastolic] mmHg”
Measurement Type: `Blood Pressure - Combined`
Goal Type: `Individual Reading Limit`
Goal Usage: `Reviewer Cannot Disable`
“Keep [#] day average blood pressure levels between [systolic low]/[diastolic low] and [systolic high]/[diastolic high] mmHg”
Measurement Type: `Blood Pressure - Combined`
Goal Type: `Average Reading Range`
Goal Usage: `Reviewer Cannot Disable`
“Keep all blood pressure levels between [systolic low]/[diastolic low] and [systolic high]/[diastolic high] mmHg”
Measurement Type: `Blood Pressure - Combined`
Goal Type: `Individual Reading Range`
Goal Usage: `Reviewer Cannot Disable`

| Diastolic Blood Pressure | Individual reading limit | Less than, More than | Provider, Participant | Every time, At most once per day |
| Diastolic Blood Pressure | Average reading limit | Less than, More than | Provider, Participant | Window |
| Diastolic Blood Pressure | Reading count | Less than, More than | Provider, Participant | Window |
| Pulse | Individual reading limit | Less than, More than | Provider, Participant | Every time, At most once per day |
| Pulse | Average reading limit | Less than, More than | Provider, Participant | Window |
### **Blood Pressure Logbook and Charts**
The logbook and chart views vary by the Impact measurement type. The examples below show the logbook view and chart view for blood pressure.
### **Logbook**
The logbook for the blood pressure measurement type displays with a date range dependent on the view range selected at the top of the clinician dashboard. BP reading values (systolic mmHg/diastolic mmHg), as well as pulse (bpm) are shown along with the reading timestamp:
### **Charts**
The chart view for the blood pressure measurement type shows a timeline with systolic and diastolic blood pressure data. The chart date range is dependent on the view window selected at the top of the clinician dashboard. The reading values and reading timestamp are shown on datapoint click.
